Stephanie Gomez, Assistant Principal in Boerne ISD, will serve as the 2026-2027 President for the Texas Elementary Principals and Supervisors Association (TEPSA). Stephanie and her fellow Executive Committee officers were installed at the association’s Summer Conference in June.
“As we start this new chapter, we’re excited to collaborate with Stephanie to support Texas PK-8 school leaders in fostering environments where students and teachers thrive,” Executive Director Harley Eckhart said. “Her leadership and expertise will be crucial in advancing our initiatives and equipping our members with essential tools for success.”
Believing “the future of education will be written by leaders who show up, adapt and inspire,” Stephanie is committed to crafting an uplifting success story for the Association, its members, and the broader educational community. In her inaugural presidential column directed to members, she introduces the guiding theme for her term, “Once Upon a New Chapter.” She encourages members to “embrace the opportunity to author our best chapter yet—not because everything will be easy, but because we will lead with purpose, resilience, and joy.”
With 29 years of experience in education, Stephanie is embarking on her 20th year as an administrator. One of the greatest joys in her position is mentoring fellow educators and witnessing their transformation into confident, successful leaders. She consistently demonstrates a commitment to lifelong learning for both staff and students and is dedicated to supporting others on their journey of growth and discovery.
A longtime TEPSA member, Stephanie has previously served in various roles at the state and region levels, including the TEPSA Executive Committee, Board of Directors, Standing Committees and as a region officer.
TEPSA, whose hallmark is educational leaders learning with and from each other, has served Texas PK-8 school leaders since 1917. Member owned and member governed, TEPSA has more than 6000 members who direct the activities of more than 3 million PK-8 school children. Learn more tepsa.org.
