Ingram ISD’s Curran will leave the district after 14 years for top job at Lago Vista

Ingram Independent School District Interim Superintendent Dr. Mindy Curran announced Friday she has been named the lone finalist for the superintendent position in Lago Vista ISD, signaling her departure from the district after 14 and a half years.

In a letter to the “Warrior Tribe” community, Curran described the decision as “bittersweet,” acknowledging the difficulty of leaving a district that has been central to her family’s life since 2011.

“Ingram ISD has been my home for the past 14 and a half years, and the people here hold a very special place in my heart,” Curran wrote in the letter dated Oct. 17, 2025.

Curran assumed the interim superintendent role in July following the retirement of longtime Superintendent Robert Templeton. Under her leadership as assistant superintendent, Ingram ISD thrived, earning A ratings in Texas Education Agency accountability scores.

All four of Curran’s children graduated from Ingram Tom Moore High School, and she credited the community with shaping her family’s experiences through “caring teachers, dedicated staff, and passionate leaders.”

During her tenure, Curran oversaw the district through significant challenges, including a recent flooding incident that impacted the community. She praised the district’s response, calling it evidence of Ingram ISD’s strength and resilience.

Curran expressed confidence in the district’s future, stating this is Ingram ISD’s “Best Year Yet” and attributing the momentum to the board of trustees and community commitment to excellence.

“Serving the Warrior Tribe has been one of the greatest honors of my life,” she wrote.

Under Texas law, school boards must wait at least 21 days after naming a lone finalist before officially hiring a superintendent. Lago Vista ISD has not announced a timeline for Curran’s potential start date.
