Cross Timbers Intermediate School
 Holly McCanlies
On Tuesday, June 22, the school board approved the principal assignment for Holly McCanlies at Cross Timbers Intermediate School. Holly McCanlies has been the Associate Principal at Haltom High School in the Birdville ISD since 2007. Prior to that she was a counselor and English teacher at Haltom HS as well as Sixth Grade Reading/Language Arts teacher at Haltom Middle School.
“Everything that is noble and magical about education is personified at Cross Timbers Intermediate,” said McCanlies on her new assignment.
“It is my distinct honor to join that amazing staff where I'll work tirelessly to achieve excellence every day!”
Holly McCanlies assumes the campus leadership position following the retirement of Cross Timbers principal Gerald Kokenes at the end of the school year after fourteen years of dedicated service in education.

 Also at the June meeting, the Board approved awarding the contract agreement to Thos. S. Byrne Construction Services for the MISD Center for the Performing Arts, in the amount of $40.4 million. The plans are for construction to begin later this month and complete early Spring 2012.
