My name is Kirsten Stone, and I am honored to be joining the Panther family to serve as your Assistant Principal. I was born and raised in Lufkin, Texas by two hard working educators, who instilled in me a passion for serving others. After graduating from Texas A&M University, my husband and I moved to Dallas to begin our careers. In 2023, we settled in Kyle with our two children, Karmen and Jack, who attend the ELC right here at KES.
This will be my seventh year in education and second year in Hays CISD. I have served as a middle school RLA teacher, GT campus lead, PLC lead, student council advisor and cheer coach. My journey in education has been driven by my dedication to empower others to learn and grow, and I am eager to collaborate with our talented staff, supportive parents, and wonderful students to continue building a strong, positive, and collaborative school community.
I grew up a Lufkin Panther, so joining this amazing community feels like coming home. I am so excited to become a part of the KES Panther Pride and work alongside such dedicated educators, students, and families. Together, we will continue to strive for excellence and make this school year unforgettable. Go Panthers!
