The Board unanimously approved Dr. Dawn Jordan as the Elementary School #3 principal. The campus, which is located in Canyon Falls, is scheduled to open at the start of the 2022-2023 school year. Jordan is currently in her third year as the principal of Argyle Intermediate School, a 5th-grade campus that will close next year to be repurposed.

"I am very pleased to have Dr. Jordan as the principal of our new elementary when it opens next fall," Argyle ISD Superintendent Dr. Telena Wright said. "Since coming to Argyle in 2019, Dr. Jordan has been an invaluable asset to the district for the last two years. I have the utmost confidence that she will be an exemplary leader guiding our new campus."
 
Jordan has nine years of elementary principal experience, including two years in Lewisville ISD before moving to Argyle in 2019. She has more than 20 years in education and will lead the opening of this new Pre-K-5th Grade campus.
 
"I am honored to be selected as the principal of the new elementary school in Argyle ISD," Jordan said. "Being part of a growing district and opening a new school are exciting challenges. I look forward to continuing the legacy of Eagle excellence and success!"
