On May 20, the Dripping Springs ISD Board of Trustees unanimously approved by a 6-0 vote Superintendent Bruce Gearing’s recommendation of Steve Novickas as the next principal of Rooster Springs Elementary.
Novickas is currently in his second year as an assistant principal at Sycamore Springs Middle School. Previously, he served as the assistant principal of two elementary schools in the Cherry Creek School District in the Denver, Colorado area.
Novickas was the AP of Highline Elementary, which is a Title 1 school, for the 2016-17 school year after two years as the AP at Pine Ridge Elementary. He also served as interim principal in the Cherry Creek district on three occasions. Novickas taught for seven years at both Pine Ridge and Buffalo Trail Elementary in that district before moving into an administrative role.
