Hello and Welcome to Westwind!

My name is Dawn Powell, and I am deeply honored and excited to join the Frenship Tigers as the Westwind Principal. 

This is my 25th year in education.  I was raised in San Diego, California and dedicated 19 years with the San Diego Unified School District. In 2018, we decided to move our family to Lubbock, TX.  Our family of 5 (3 Boys) moved with 2 horses and 3 dogs in tow.  What made us pick Lubbock? My husband is from Lorenzo, TX.  The US Marine Corp. brought him to San Diego after 3 years in Japan and 2 tours to Iraq.  Through all my experiences I am committed to fostering a collaborative and supportive educational environment to improve student outcomes and school performance.

I am excited and look forward to working with our Westwind Family.
