“Kimberly has worked her entire educational career in Leander ISD, and she is a proven leader in our district,” said Dan Troxell, Leander ISD superintendent who made this announcement on June 1. “She is ready to build upon the incredible culture that has been established at Canyon Ridge and continue to enhance teaching and learning for all.”
