Greetings Lundy Mountain Lion Community: 

I am honored to begin my second year as principal of Lundy Elementary, a school that holds a special place in my heart. With 28 years in El Paso ISD—as a classroom teacher, Campus Teaching Coach, and campus leader—returning to Lundy as principal has felt like coming home. I was proud to help open our campus in 2009 and now feel equally proud to lead it into another year of growth and excellence. 

For School Year 2026 our theme, “Moving Mountains,” reflects our shared belief that, with determination, unity, and heart, every challenge can be overcome. Whether it’s mastering new skills, building resilience, or reaching personal goals, our students are capable of incredible things—and we are here to teach and encourage them every step of the way. 

At Lundy, our mission is to nurture the whole child—academically, socially, and emotionally—by fostering a supportive, high-expectation environment where every student can thrive. Through strong relationships, empowered educators, and a culture of collaboration, creativity, and perseverance, we build a school community where each unique contribution strengthens our collective success. 

We are committed to strong communication and will stay connected through the El Paso ISD app (Thrillshare/Rooms/Apptegy), email, phone calls, and in-person meetings. I also encourage you to follow us on Instagram and Facebook to celebrate the daily joy and success happening on campus. 

Let’s climb higher, grow stronger, and move mountains—together. 

With pride and purpose, 

Hillery Smith
