Gina Henze, assistant principal at McAnally Middle School, has been named the new principal at Coder Elementary School.

Henze has been at McAnally for one year. Previously she served as an assistant principal at Miller Elementary School in Arlington ISD. She also served as an elementary summer school principal, a support interventionist, a science enrichment teacher, and a sixth-grade teacher in Arlington ISD. Henze has a bachelor’s degree from Texas Tech University and a master’s degree from the University of Texas at Arlington. Henze and her husband have lived in Aledo for 12 years and have two elementary-aged Bearcat students.

“We are excited that Gina Henze will be leading our Coder Cats next school year as campus principal,” Superintendent Dr. Susan Bohn said. “Mrs. Henze excels at building relationships with students, staff, and families, and also at creating and implementing systems that ensure student and staff success. She has great experience as a teacher, interventionist, and assistant principal at the elementary level, and I cannot wait to see the impact she’ll have on Coder.”

“I am so excited to be a Coder Cat!” Henze said. “I have had the opportunity to work under amazing leaders and mentors who shared with me the importance of systems, relationships, and keeping students at the forefront of our work, always. It is such an honor to serve Aledo ISD in this new leadership capacity. I can’t wait to get to know the Coder community.”
