New Principal Announced!

Ms. Stefan will retire at the end of the school year after 25 years as principal of La Joya School. Ms. Stefan was honored on May 18, 2012 in a special ceremony in which the La Joya Library was dedicated to her.  The new Mary Stefan Library at La Joya School is located directly across the street from the James Stefan School, which was named after her father.  The ceremony was attended by all of the students, current staff, friends & family members. Her dedication to the students of La Joya School will not be forgotten.

As we say good bye to Ms. Stefan we also want to welcome our new principal, Dr. Donna Smith, to our La Joya family.  Dr. Smith will take over the leadership of La Joya School early this summer.  Dr. Smith has an extensive background in education and we are excited to start this new chapter with her.
