In a Facebook post, Dallas ISD trustee Dustin Marshall writes, “The feedback I’ve received from the community has been overwhelmingly positive about Ms. Wilke, and I have every confidence that she will be the long-term leader that this terrific school needs!”

Wilke, who was an assistant principal before Myatt left, will be the fourth principal in as many years at the neighborhood school.
