Westview Middle School principal Kermit Ward was named the new principal at Connally High School for the 2015-16 school year, the district announced May 7. “Kermit has displayed strong leadership skills at Westview Middle School, and I know he will bring that same energy and passion for learning in his new role,” Pflugerville ISD Superintendent Alex Torrez said in a statement. “Additionally, he brings an extensive knowledge of the Connally High School community and already has a solid relationship with many of the students and parents at Connally High School.” Ward is replacing CHS Principal Daniel Garcia, who will be the new principal at Hendrickson High School for the 2015-16 school year, the district announced April 23. Garcia replaces Devin Padavil, who is leaving HHS at the end of the school year to pursue an opportunity with Frisco ISD. “Daniel is an outstanding leader who is known for ensuring all students have opportunities to be successful,” Torrez said in a statement. “He will be a dynamic addition to the Hendrickson community, and I believe students, parents and staff members will appreciate his humble approach to servant leadership.”
