Stephanie Howell took over as the District’s new Superintendent May 1. 
The Texas A&M-Commerce graduate earned her Master’s from Lamar University, and is on course to secure a Doctorate in Education. She has been a CISD administrator since 2009 in various capacities. In almost 20 years of education, Howell has focused on one principle – every child can be successful. 
“Preparing students for the future has always guided my intentions and actions,” Howell said. “In roles from being in the classroom to leading a campus to having a voice in major District decisions, the foundation needed to lead and impact the lives of students developed. Having served in so many roles allows me to see situations through a variety of lenses and have empathy and understanding needed in effective decision making.”   
Howell most recently served as Deputy Superintendent.
“This is an opportunity of a lifetime,” Howell said. “I am a Corsicana product who loves my hometown, and my goal will always be to make this a better place for our students, teachers, staff, and community.” 
Howell and husband Stephen have two children, son Nick and daughter Makayla, and Layla, their granddaugther.
