A Message from the Principal of Poteet High School 

A woman with light brown hair smiles at the camera, wearing a blue shirt.

As Principal of Poteet High School, I have the privilege of serving a campus filled with passionate educators, talented students, and a supportive community. At Poteet, we lead with Respect, Honor, and Pride not just as words on a wall, but as values we live out daily in our classrooms, hallways, and beyond.

I believe strong relationships and high expectations are the foundation of student success. Our team is committed to knowing every student by name, strength, and need—ensuring each one is challenged, supported, and celebrated. Whether students are preparing for college, a career, or military service, we are here to help them grow into confident leaders ready for whatever comes next.

I'm incredibly proud of the opportunities our students have to explore their passions and develop their potential. From our award-winning fine arts programs to our competitive athletic teams and strong academic pathways, Poteet Pirates rise to every challenge and represent our school with excellence. Our staff is dedicated to helping each student find their place, pursue their goals, and build a future they're proud of.

It’s an honor to lead Poteet High School, and I’m proud of the traditions, achievements, and community spirit that make this school exceptional. We are #PoteetStrong!

Warm regards,
Dr. Kelly Long
