Grapevine-Colleyville ISD's board has brought on a new principal who is slated to begin work at the helm of Dove Elementary School in July.

A district news release states Cindy Galloway will join the district with 22 years of experience, most recently serving as the principal of Deer Park Elementary School in Daviess County Public Schools in Kentucky.

Robin Ryan, GCISD superintendent, called Galloway a dynamic educator in the district's news release.

"Ms. Galloway's experience with strategic planning, as well as her school's implementation of technology in the classroom, is a perfect alignment with the goals and objectives in our strategic plan LEAD 2021," Ryan said.

The hunt for a new principal at DES began last fall when former principal Becky Lamb was chosen to head the district's human resources department.

Galloway has a bachelor's degree in mathematics and a master's in secondary education from Murray State University in Kentucky.
