Klein ISD is proud to recognize Klein Cain High School principal Lauren Marti as the 2025 District Secondary Principal of the Year!

Affectionately known as “the real deal,” Ms. Marti is admired for her steadfast leadership. Her strategic vision and a deep commitment to student and teacher success make her a leader others look up to.
