Hello! My name is Kaylie Hix, and I am thrilled to serve as the Assistant Principal at New Home Elementary. I bring more than 12 years of experience in education, having taught middle school math and science and high school science in school districts ranging from 1A to 4A. I also served as an Academic Dean, where I developed a passion for supporting student success, fostering teacher growth, and building strong school communities.

My husband and I are proud parents of four amazing children. Two are currently in college, and our two younger children will soon be joining the Leopard family. As a family, we enjoy spending time outdoors fishing and camping, and you'll often find us playing anything Mario-related!

I was drawn to New Home ISD because of its strong sense of community and unwavering commitment to student success, and I am honored to be part of the Leopard family. I look forward to partnering with our students, families, and staff to make this a fantastic year of learning, growth, and success.

Go Leopards!
