“Creating opportunities for our leaders to grow is an important part of leading a vibrant organization like DSISD. Mrs. Raymond and Mrs. Daige are accomplished and innovative leaders steeped in the rich traditions of the Dripping Springs community. I know they will bring just as much vision, expertise and success to their new roles as their previous positions in the district and I am excited about the future for these campuses under their leadership,” Morris-Kuentz stated.
