Dear Families, Dear Families,

zoom_out_map

2025 is off to a great start in Crowley ISD, and we are looking forward to an exciting semester with students and staff here at Bess Race Elementary School.


I am honored to announce that I have been named the interim principal here at Bess Race. It is truly a privilege to serve in this new role and continue working with our incredible students, staff and families.


For the past three years, I have had the joy of serving as the assistant principal here at Bess Race. During that time, I’ve come to know and deeply appreciate the strong sense of community that makes our school so special.


I am especially grateful to follow in the footsteps of Ms. Shaunda Garrison, whose leadership set a standard of excellence that I am committed to upholding. Together, we will build on her legacy and ensure Bess Race remains a place where every child is inspired to achieve their full potential.


Stepping into the assistant principal role in the interim is Dr. Betty Lewis, a longtime Crowley ISD administrator with a wealth of experience in campus leadership, including roles as both principal and assistant principal. Dr. Lewis brings a strong commitment to student achievement and staff development, and we are thrilled to welcome her to the Bess Race family.
