We are pleased to welcome Cesar Quintero to Duncanville ISD as the new Principal of Fairmeadows Elementary. Mr. Quintero is a skilled instructional leader with a strong record of improving academic outcomes and strengthening campus systems. He currently serves as an Assistant Principal in Midlothian ISD, where he helped lead notable gains in Reading and Math growth and supported the campus in earning a TEA “B” rating for 2024–25, including distinctions in Top 25% Academic Growth and Top 25% Closing the Gaps. His leadership in PLCs, data-driven instruction, and restorative practices contributed to reduced referrals, stronger student supports, and improved teacher coaching cycles.
He previously served as an Instructional Campus Coordinator at W.H. Adamson High School in Dallas ISD, where U.S. History EOC performance reached 97.7% Approaches and 69.3% Meets, surpassing state averages. His teaching experience in Duncanville ISD, Cedar Hill ISD, and Dallas ISD further strengthened his expertise in multilingual education, instructional alignment, and culturally responsive leadership.
Mr. Quintero holds a Master of Education in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies from the University of Texas at Arlington and a Bachelor of Science from Texas Tech University. He also holds Texas certifications in EC–6 and Bilingual Education.
He taught at Fairmeadows Elementary during the 2021–2022 school year, and we are excited to welcome him back to the Panther family.
