During the 2018-2019 school year, as a first-year principal, Principal Stewart’s school, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Learning Center, went from a D-rated to a B-rated campus boasting the highest growth in the state of Texas amongst its comparative group and earning six state STAAR distinctions. Additionally, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Learning Center had the #1 Positive Climate & Culture in the Dallas Independent School District for the 2018-2019 school year. 

 

Because of her transformational leadership at Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Learning Center, she became the turn-around principal of Dr. Billy E. Dade Middle School. Here, in her first four months as principal, the climate and culture went from#67 to #3 amongst Dallas I.S.D.’s secondary schools. Furthermore, the school’s 2019 District Assessment of Course Performance benchmark scores  had double digit gains in every subject area. Dr. Billy E. Dade Middle School was one of two middle school campuses in the Dallas Independent School District to have high indicators of success in reading (86%) and math (92%) on the Fall 2019 Assessment of Course Performance!
