Kimbrough Middle School

A Message from the Principal of Kimbrough Middle School 

Welcome to Kimbrough Middle School, where excellence isn’t something we chase; it’s a commitment woven into the fabric of who we are.

I’m Lacy Starnes, and it’s the deep privilege of my career to serve as Principal of a school where students are known, believed in, and challenged to become their best. The reputation for excellence that defines our past still shapes our present—not as pressure, but as a promise. We carry it forward with pride, knowing that what we do now echoes in who our students become next.

At Kimbrough Middle School, we believe education is far more than an exchange of effort for achievement—it’s the work of transformation. We teach with the long view in mind, knowing that what happens in our classrooms can shape who students become far beyond middle school. Through our UIL award-winning Fine Arts programs, high-performing athletic teams, and a wide variety of clubs and organizations, we create space for every student to discover their strengths, find their voice, and feel connected to something meaningful.

Thank you for being part of the Kimbrough family. Your presence—whether as a student, parent, staff member, or community partner—matters deeply in our shared mission to help every child grow, thrive, and succeed. It takes all of us—linked by purpose, grounded in care—to create the kind of school where students feel seen, supported, and ready to rise. Excellence is never a solo effort. It’s a collective one, and we’re honored to walk this journey with you.

Warm regards,
Lacy Starnes
