THE LINDALE INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT
EDUCATING EVERY CHILD EVERY DAY
June 2, 2026 For Immediate Release
LINDALE ISD NAMES NATALIE BROWN ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL OF VELMA PENNY ELEMENTARY LINDALE, Texas — The Lindale Independent School District is pleased to announce the hiring of Mrs. Natalie Brown as the new assistant principal of Velma Penny Elementary. Brown brings more than two decades of experience in elementary education and educational leadership to her new role. Her career began at Winona ISD, where she taught kindergarten for 10 years before joining Lindale ISD as a kindergarten teacher. She spent six years serving Lindale students and families before accepting an assistant principal position at a second- and third-grade campus in Van ISD, where she has served for the past five years. For Brown, the opportunity to return to Lindale ISD is both professional and personal. “We have lived in Lindale for 22 years and we moved here for this amazing school district,” said Brown. “Our oldest son graduated from Lindale High School in 2025 and our youngest will be a junior this school year. I feel like I’m coming home and it feels great.” Brown expressed gratitude for the opportunity to rejoin the district where she spent a significant portion of her teaching career.
