Lewisville ISD announced the appointment of Ms. Shaunna Buck as the new principal of Central Elementary. Buck currently serves as an assistant principal at Southridge Elementary, a position she has held for five years.

“I am thrilled to join the Cowboy family as the new principal at Central Elementary,” Ms. Buck said. “I look forward to serving the students, staff, families and community while continuing to build a love for learning for the students at Central.”

Buck is entering her 22nd year in public education, with the last 20 years having been right here in LISD. She began teaching fourth grade at Gunter Elementary in 2001 before she joined LISD in 2002 as a teacher at Durham Middle School. In 2011, Buck moved to campus administration as an assistant principal at Durham and later Southridge Elementary in 2017 where she has been ever since. 

“Ms. Buck is a passionate and student-focused leader,” Superintendent of Schools Dr. Lori Rapp said. “I’m confident the students and staff of Central Elementary will continue to excel under her leadership.”

Buck received her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Elementary Education, both from Austin College.
