Corpus Christi ISD has named Stevie Rae Garcia principal of the district’s newest middle school.
Garcia is currently the principal of Kostoryz Elementary School, where she previously served as the school’s assistant principal.
Garcia earned a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies and a Master of Science in Educational Administration, both from Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi.
Additionally, she has experience teaching and supporting teachers through curriculum writing.
“Mrs. Garcia is an excellent example of the leadership pipeline we have developed and continue to hone in CCISD,” said Superintendent Dr. Roland Hernandez. “We look forward to her leadership and know she will bring a passion for excellence in establishing the new middle school.”
Garcia will remain at Kostoryz through the end of the 2024-2025 school year.
The new school is scheduled to open in August 2025. The district recently asked the community for suggestions for the new school’s name, which will be discussed during a future board meeting.
CCISD schools and offices will be closed Nov. 25-29 for the annual Thanksgiving Break.

In accordance with state legislation passed in 2019, all Texas public school districts are required by law to include the sentence on all bond proposals, regardless of whether the bond would affect the district’s tax rate. Bond 2024 will not increase the Corpus Christi ISD’s tax rate.
Since 2008, CCISD’s school bond program has enabled the district to build nearly 20 new school buildings and significantly renovate many others. This year, Corpus Christi ISD’s trustees approved placing a $135.4 million bond proposal on the Nov. 5 ballot. The measure would not affect residents’ tax rate.
