On April 22 Katy ISD named Lindsay Jones as the new principal of Robertson Elementary and Kaleena (Kallie) Roman as the new principal of McElwain Elementary, selecting two experienced instructional leaders to guide continued student success on their campuses.

Katy ISD Superintendent Ken Gregorski said both leaders bring a proven track record of excellence and a deep commitment to student achievement.

“Lindsay Jones and Kallie Roman are exceptional leaders who understand how to build strong school communities and drive academic success,” Dr. Gregorski said. “Their experience, passion and focus on students will ensure Robertson Elementary and McElwain Elementary continue to thrive and deliver unparalleled learning experiences.”

Jones will lead Robertson Elementary beginning May 26, guided by her robust background in campus leadership, instructional coaching and elementary education. Roman, currently serving as interim principal at McElwain Elementary, brings extensive experience in instructional leadership and student support systems.

Jones currently serves as assistant principal at Nottingham Country Elementary, where she has led instructional improvement efforts and supported student achievement through targeted data-driven strategies. Her experience also includes instructional coordinator and classroom teacher roles across multiple districts.

“I am thrilled to introduce myself as the new principal of Robertson Elementary,” Jones said. “I look forward to meeting our bright students and getting to know our dedicated families and staff as we continue moving Robertson along the strong pathway paved since the campus opened in 2022.”

Roman brings more than two decades of experience in education, including leadership roles focused on teacher development, campus operations and student support. As assistant principal at McElwain Elementary, she has led professional learning, supported multi-tiered systems of support and strengthened campus culture through collaboration and high expectations.

“As principal, I am committed to building a student-centered learning community rooted in collaboration, accountability and a shared commitment to excellence,” Roman said. “I look forward to working alongside our staff, students and families to continue growing a campus where every child feels supported and empowered to succeed.”
