North Texas Principal, Removed After Racially-Exclusive Assembly, Appointed Principal at Another DISD School

Hooper-Barnett was dismissed from Woodrow Wilson in October 2025 after she held a meeting with only Black students about their academic performance. Black students made up 6% of the school’s nearly 2,000 student population in the 2024-2025 school year, according to district data.

A student at the school told his mother, Jennifer Bush, that Hooper-Barnett stated “the Black students were the reason why the school had a B rating,” Bush previously told The Dallas Morning News.

The high school had received a “B” in the 2024-2025 academic accountability ratings, the same letter grade given the previous three academic years.

A day later, Oct. 28, Dallas ISD Superintendent Stephanie Elizalde notified families that Hooper-Barnett would not be returning to the school. Danielle Petters stepped in as interim principal after Hooper-Barnett was removed.
