Southlake Carroll announces new high school principals
Two educators with years of leadership experience in the Carroll school district were chosen to replace two high school principals who left for other jobs after their contracts were not renewed beyond 2026.
Shatina Lewis, who was principal at Carroll Middle, was named principal at Carroll Senior High School and Patrick Holladay, principal at Johnson Elementary, is now principal at Carroll High School.
Lewis replaces Ryan Wilson, who was hired last week as the principal at Sagniaw Boswell. Holladay takes over for Christina Benhoff, who was hired May 15 as the principal at Keller Timber Creek High School.
Superintendent Jeremy Glenn announced the leadership changes during Monday night's school board meeting.
'Changes in school leadership are unsettling,' he said.
'We recognize that transitions can create uncertainty,' Glenn said.
Lewis was principal at Carroll Middle School for over three years. During her time as principal, she fostered academic excellence and strong community partnerships, the district said in a statement.
Before becoming principal at Carroll Middle, Lewis was an assistant principal at Dawson Middle School. She began her career in the district in 2014 as an English teacher at Carroll Senior High.
Holladay taught high school math for 20 years throughout North Texas. Holladay was assistant principal at the Mansfield school district's Donna Shepard Intermediate Leadership Academy for six years before coming to the Carroll school district.
Glenn also announced that Stefan Benadetti, teacher of the year in 2023, is the district's choir director.
