Mesquite ISD announces new principals and assistant principals across district
Summary
Mesquite ISD announced multiple leadership appointments June 8, naming principals for Agnew Middle and Shands Elementary and six assistant principals across elementary and middle schools; appointees' backgrounds and credentials were summarized by Dr. Angel Rivera.
Dr. Angel Rivera of Mesquite ISD announced a slate of leadership appointments at the district's June 8 board meeting, naming Gabriel Cabaroy as principal of Agnew Middle School and Fernando Rubio as principal of Shands Elementary, and introducing six new assistant principals for campuses across the district.
The appointments were delivered as part of a personnel update. "Congratulations to Agnew, you have your middle school principal, Gabriel Cabaroy," Dr. Angel Rivera said as he listed Cabaroy's more than 16 years of experience and prior roles as assistant principal at Mesquite High School and Vanston Middle School. Rivera also named Fernando Rubio as Shands Elementary's principal and summarized Rubio's prior principalships at Buckner Preparatory and Cityscape Schools and five years as an elementary principal in Dallas ISD.
The board announced the following assistant-principal appointments and summary credentials: Sierra Finley, assistant principal at Cross Elementary, a former fifth-grade reading and language-arts teacher with seven years of experience; Elida Gil, assistant principal at Floyd Elementary, joining from Garland ISD with dual-language and curriculum-support experience; Cassidy Saragossa, assistant principal at Galloway Elementary and an eight-year Mesquite educator; Jeremy Aldine Wells, assistant principal at Range Elementary with over 15 years in education and experience in Frisco ISD leadership roles; Tamika Riley, assistant principal at Thompson Elementary and a 15-year Mesquite ISD staff member; and Alsenya Alanise, assistant principal at Rugal Elementary with a decade of bilingual-education experience.
The district provided basic credential details in the announcements: degrees and completion of local aspiring-administrator programs were cited for several appointees. The announcement did not include formal vote tallies or the specific board action language; the update framed these as personnel appointments and welcomed the new leaders.
The appointments take effect for the coming school year; the district did not specify hiring dates, contract terms, or whether the appointments followed competitive searches. The board did not provide vote tallies in the public update.
