Welcome Back Bobcats,
 
I’m so excited to be back as Principal of O’Dell Elementary! It’s an honor to serve our amazing school and the O’Dell community.

At O’Dell Elementary, our mission is to provide every student with meaningful opportunities to engage, learn, and serve while fostering a culture of excellence in both academics and character. Through our commitment to O.E.S. — Opportunity, Excellence, and Success — we empower all learners to reach their full potential and achieve their goals.

Guided by Celina ISD's 5 core principles of Community, Leadership, Stewardship, Excellence, and Innovation, we create an environment where students are challenged to think critically, solve real-world problems, collaborate with others, and develop the skills needed to thrive both in and beyond the classroom.

We will continue to bring our mission and Celina ISD’s five core principles to life through our House System. By fostering a strong sense of belonging and school pride, our House System creates an engaging environment where every student can grow, lead, and have fun along the way.

I’m looking forward to the 2026-2027 school year. Together, we will make great things happen!
