Caldwell High School’s principal is set to join another school district as superintendent, and the former head of Somerville ISD will lead the high school in the interim.
Caldwell ISD announced on Friday that Karla Sparks will fill the vacancy after Dr. Justin Turner was selected as the lone finalist for the superintendent role in Hubbard ISD.
Sparks, who most recently was the interim high school principal in Giddings ISD, served for 10 years in Somerville ISD, including as superintendent. She took on the position as an interim in May 2018, becoming full-time in January 2019 and continuing until her resignation in August 2022.
