The Argyle ISD Board of Trustees approved Robyn Campbell as the next Hilltop Elementary Principal during the School Board meeting on Monday, April 15, 2024.

Campbell brings a wealth of public education experience as a teacher and administrator at the elementary level. For the last 11 years, she has been the Principal at Bernice Chatman Freeman Elementary, including a Spark STEM Academy, within Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD, accumulating 23 years of service within CFBISD.

Campbell replaces Dona Lumsden, who will transition to Principal of Argyle Middle School starting the 2024-2025 school year. 

“This is an exciting day for Hilltop Elementary and Argyle ISD,” Argyle ISD Superintendent Dr. Courtney Carpenter said. “Mrs. Campbell brings valuable experience as an excellent instructional leader focused on growing students and supporting teachers. Our district leadership team will benefit from her elementary school-level coaching and planning expertise, and we look forward to introducing her to the Hilltop community.”

Since 2001, Campbell has served in Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD, holding Assistant Principal positions at two elementary campuses before advancing to her current position. She has excelled in CFBISD in relationship building, coaching and strategic planning.

Campbell rebranded the Freeman Elementary campus to a full STEM Academy, including master scheduling, curriculum, family events and professional development. She also launched the first full-day PreKindergarten program in the district, which served qualifying and tuition-based students.

She started her educational career in 2001 as a third-grade teacher at Davis Elementary in CFBISD. Campbell served as team leader for four years, coaching, mentoring and leading teams with campus and district achievement goals.

“I am deeply honored to join the Hilltop Elementary family and community,” Campbell said. “With a rich history of excellence, I am excited to contribute to this legacy by leading with vision, inspiration and collaboration. Together, I am thrilled about the opportunity to build upon the strong foundation of success and innovation that defines Hilltop and Argyle ISD. My vision is to combine history and tradition with future success for all students and families.”

Campbell graduated from Angelo State University in San Angelo and earned her Masters of Educational Leadership at SMU. 

Hilltop Elementary will host a community Meet & Greet for the new principal on Tuesday, May 7, from 3:30-5 p.m. in the campus cafeteria. She will officially start her new role on July 19.

Robyn and her husband, Scott, have a six-year-old son, Colt Campbell. They enjoy all things outdoors, traveling and watching live sports events at all levels.
