Hello McWhorter coyotes! My name is Luz Soto-Dimas, Principal for McWhorter Elementary.

I am a passionate educator and love each and every experience that comes my way. I myself am a product of public education. I attended Carrollton Farmers Branch schools; McLaughlin Elementary and Vivian Field Middle School. I have two girls, Sofia and Iliana.  Sofia attends R.L. Turner and Iliana attended and graduated from Newman Smith HS. As a parent I have seen the great opportunities that our district provides to all students. I am married to an amazing husband of twenty-four years! I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, reading, watching movies and exercising.

I hold a bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with an emphasis in Bilingual Education from Texas Woman’s University in Denton, Texas, and a master’s degree in Administration in Education from Southern Methodist University.

Carrollton Farmers Branch ISD has been my professional home for twenty-two years. I have served as a teacher, assistant principal and principal. I taught 1st grade bilingual, 2nd grade bilingual and monolingual, 5th grade all at Farmers Branch Elementary, as well as taught summer school ten years for PK, Kinder and 5th grade. I had the pleasure of being the Assistant Principal at Dale B. Davis Elementary for three years. I then served as the Principal for Central Elementary seven years and I know am ecstatic to serve as the Principal at McWhorter Elementary

Carrollton Farmers Branch ISD is an extraordinary district that goes above and beyond to serve all our students, families, and the community. We at McWhorter Elementary are committed to serving all our students.
