The San Marcos CISD board of trustees approved Denisha Presley as the new San Marcos High School principal for the 2019-20 school year at its May 20 meeting. Presley's first year as the San Marcos High School principal will mark her 20th year in education. Presley, who has been the principal at Lehman High School in Hays CISD for three years, got her master's degree in education from Texas State University. She also spent eight years working for San Marcos CISD as an assistant principal and teacher. “I can’t describe how excited I am to return to San Marcos CISD,” Presley said in a statement released by the district. “Although I’ve maintained various levels of connection for more than 20 years, I am grateful for the opportunity to once again fully immerse and focus my service on that of the students, families, and staff of SMCISD.”
