Lindsay Kent - Principal
Howdy KFE Colts! My name is Lindsay Kent, and I am honored to serve as the Principal of Kay Franklin Elementary. I am thrilled to be part of the Franklin family and look forward to partnering with our students, staff, and families to create an exceptional learning experience for all.

Before becoming Principal at Franklin, I served in a variety of educational leadership roles, including classroom teacher, Reading Specialist, Associate Principal, and in Northside ISD's Elementary Reading Department.

My husband and I are the proud parents of two young daughters. As both an educator and a parent, I understand the importance of providing children with a safe, engaging, and high-quality learning environment where they are challenged, supported, and celebrated.

I believe that strong relationships, high expectations, and a commitment to continuous growth create the foundation for student success. My goal is to foster a school culture where every student feels valued, every staff member feels supported, and every family feels like an important part of our school community.

I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the Franklin community and look forward to an incredible year together. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions, ideas, or concerns. Together, we'll ensure our Franklin Colts continue to learn, grow, and thrive!

I am Cynthia Escajeda-Wade the proud Associate Principal of Kay Franklin Elementary! I look forward to working with the Kay Franklin staff, students, and families as we take the journey towards excellence.
This is my 18th year in education and I am excited to begin my administrator career here at Kay Franklin. Before becoming an administrator, I had the opportunity to teach bilingual grades K, 1, 2, and 4 at various Northside campuses. I graduated from Our Lady of the Lake University with my Bachelor of Science in Bilingual Education and the University of Texas at San Antonio with my Master of Education in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies.
When I am not working, some things I enjoy doing are spending time with my family, shopping, playing board games, reading, and exploring our city of San Antonio.
