WACO, TX — Waco ISD announced James Stewart will be the new principal of Waco High School at the school board meeting on Thursday.
Stewart is currently the principal at G.W. Carver Middle School and has 17 years experience in education with Waco ISD. Stewart has also taught at and served as an assistant principal of Waco High School during his career.
“I am beyond excited to return to Waco High,” Stewart said. “I’ve enjoyed every day that I have been Carver’s principal, but Lion pride runs deep. As a proud graduate of Waco High and a former Waco High teacher, coach and assistant principal, I know just how special this campus is.”
Stewart was named Region 12 High School Assistant Principal of the year in 2017 by the Texas Association of Secondary School Principals.
“I am confident that James is the right person to be Waco High’s next principal,” said Hazel Rowe, Waco ISD's Interim Superintendent. “He is an excellent educator, a great leader and has a decade of experience at Waco High as a teacher, a coach and an assistant principal."
Stewart will replace Ed Love, who served as principal of Waco High for five years before announcing he would be leaving last month.
