Kasey Crick - Principal

Mrs. Crick was beyond thrilled to join the Helotes family as the Principal! Over the next few years, we will have the opportunity to get to know one another and collaborate on all of the important tasks involved in educating your children. At Helotes Elementary, we will work together to ensure that our students receive the high standard of education for which Northside ISD is known. She has served as the vice principal of Carson and Kuentz Elementary before becoming the Principal at Helotes. At Helotes, we believe that student success includes the development of students’ skills both academically and socially. She enjoys working with parents and community members in developing a school where students thrive and achieve their goals! Be sure to visit our website from time to time and follow the Facebook Page NISD Helotes for updates on Helotes Elementary activities, as well as information on opportunities for student and parent involvement. We are better together!

My name is Carrie Lewis, and I am excited to serve the students, staff, families, and communities of Helotes and McAndrew Elementary as Associate Principal!

This year marks my 19th year in education and my 18th year in Northside ISD. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Music Education and my master’s degree in Educational Leadership from UTSA. I began my career in Northside as a music teacher at Steubing Elementary. In 2017, I had the honor of helping open Kallison Elementary, where I continued teaching music before transitioning into the first-grade classroom.

My administrative journey began in 2022 when I served as an Administrative Intern at Martin Elementary. In the spring of 2023, I was named Associate Principal at Blattman Elementary, where I had the privilege of serving an incredible school community. I am now excited to begin this next chapter serving the Helotes and McAndrew Elementary communities. I look forward to building relationships with our students, staff, and families and working together to create meaningful and successful experiences for every child.

Outside of school, I am a wife and proud mom of two amazing boys who also attend Northside schools.

I strongly believe that every child is unique and deserves a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where they can grow academically, socially, emotionally, and physically. I am committed to helping create school communities where every student feels valued, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential.
