Please join us in welcoming Mrs Natalie Steele to our Dragon Family!  She will be taking the reins of the principal position from Cody White, as he transitions to the superintendent position with the impending retirement of Mr. Jones.  Mrs. Steele and her husband, Craig, both grew up and graduated from Sydney ISD.  Craig is currently the head football, boys’ track, and assistant baseball coach at Borden County.  The Steeles have two children.  Brianna (22) is in the Occupational Therapy program at ACU; Braden (19) is taking classes through Howard College and plans to pursue a career in education and coaching.  Mrs. Steele graduated with her Bachelor of Science from Tarleton State University and Master of Educational Leadership from Abilene Christian University.  This will be her 25th year in education.  We are so excited to have Mrs. Steele at Dawson!!!
