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.
