McKinney ISD is excited to announce that Kassie Halpin, who has served as assistant principal at Bennett Elementary for the past three and a half years, has been named Bennett's new principal! The change follows the November announcement that longtime Bennett Principal Amy Holderman will serve as the principal of MISD's new Frazier Elementary. Halpin brings 14 years of experience in elementary education to her new position with more than 10 years of instructional and campus leadership.
