When the students of McKinney North High School return from summer break to begin the 2016-2017 school year, they will not only be meeting their new principal but they’ll arrive at a campus that will be much changed in the wake of a yearlong $17.5 million bond expansion and renovation project. Students will pass through through a revitalized, modern front entry to find more classrooms, new collaborative spaces and expanded CTE facilities along with technology upgrades and a completely fresh design aesthetic throughout the building.

Background:

  • Jae Gaskill came to McKinney ISD to serve as associate principal of North nine years ago from Allen ISD where she was a house principal at Allen High School.
  • Her career in education began 14 years earlier as a middle school science teacher and coach. Gaskill would serve in that role and then as a high school teacher and coach until 1999 when she was hired as a house principal at Allen ISD’s Becky Lowery Freshman Center. In 2004, she joined the Allen High School administrative team. She came to McKinney ISD three years later.
  • Received her Bachelor’s degree from Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, TX and her Master’s degree in Educational Administration from Texas A&M University-Commerce.
