MFISD trustees name Leftlet as Falls Career principal

Yarda Leflet

During the Marble Falls Independent School District’s board meeting May 21, the trustees approved superintendent Dr. Chris Allen’s recommendation to name Yarda Leflet as the new Principal for Falls Career High School.

A principal hiring committee, comprised of Falls Staff and MFISD administrators, included representation from curriculum and instruction and special services helped sort and interview finalists for the Falls principal position.

The top candidates were forwarded to the superintendent for further interviews and recommendation to the MFISD board.

Leftlet has served Hays CISD as the executive director of learning and teaching since 2010.

Prior to that, she served Hays as the acting chief academic officer, director of secondary services, academic dean, and as an English teacher.

During her service in Hays, Leflet worked with Live Oak Academy (school of choice) and Impact (DAEP) on course offerings and support services in order to meet student needs similar to students who access the programs at Falls Career High School. Leflet is a Texas State University graduate, earning her Master of Education in Reading Education/Adult and Developmental Education in 2001.

She earned her bachelor of arts from Texas State in 1996. Leflet will join the MFISD family with her husband, Anthony, MFHS’ new head band director, and their two children, Jack and Jonathon.

“I am honored that Marble Falls ISD has chosen me as the next leader to serve the students and teachers at Falls Career High School,” said Leflet. “Falls Career High School is an exceptional environment implementing the best of alternative education for students. It is a great responsibility to be a principal and I am truly blessed to be given the opportunity to serve the Marble Falls ISD community.”
