Principal's Corner
From the Principals Desk
My name is Melvlyn "Sissy" Lowe and I have been in education 35 plus years. I am a pioneer because I was the First African-American female head coach in Cedar Hill ISD and the first African-American Principal in DeSotoISD.
I have been a champion for children over my 35 plus years and was instrumental in creating the first PPCD program at Northside Elementary school and The Acceler-8 program for SSI retained eighth graders. I have been honored many, many times by being selected to the DeSotoISD Hall of Fame, TMEA Distinguished Educator award, TAASP Excellence Award, Principal of the Year Award, South Dallas Trailblazers Award, PTA Lifetime membership award as well as many, many more. I have led and served on countless committees and has attended hundreds of hours of training to improve myself.
I was selected as principal for McCowan Middle in 2006 and oversaw the design and construction of the campus to the opening in 2007. Since my retirement in 2015, I have served the District in many capacities. I have been married to my husband Greg for 40 years and has two children.
