In every school community, there are seasons when one chapter closes and another begins with growth and new opportunity.
There are moments in every school community when one chapter closes and another begins with hope.
For Wylie High School, that next chapter starts with a familiar face.
Wylie ISD is proud to announce that TiAda Radtke has been named the next principal of Wylie High School, beginning with the 2026-2027 school year. TiAda currently serves as assistant principal at Wylie High School and has spent the past three years helping lead the campus while building strong relationships with students, staff, and families.
She succeeds Reagan Berry, who was recently named Wylie ISD’s Director of Federal and State Programs.
Superintendent Joey Light said TiAda’s leadership and steady presence made her the right choice at the right time.
“Mrs. Radtke has proven to be a vital part of the current high school administrative team,” Light said. “She knows the students, staff, and parents because she has been an important part of Wylie High School these past three years.”
Light added that TiAda’s approach reflects the values Wylie holds dear.
“Mrs. Radtke builds relationships as she evaluates the landscape,” he said. “She is proactive in looking at ways to make improvements, and I am excited about what she will do in her new role.”
TiAda brings 31 years of education experience, serving at Henrietta, Breckenridge, and Wichita Falls Rider before moving into administration in 2013. She said stepping into the role is both humbling and exciting.
“I feel honored that the district is entrusting the campus to be under my leadership,” TiAda said. “It is not something I will take lightly, and I want to continue finding ways to improve our school.”
She said what makes Wylie special is something visitors often notice right away - kindness.
“Our students are kind, and that helps new people feel at ease and able to be the best version of themselves,” she said.
Her vision for Wylie High School centers on support, preparation, and helping students discover their path after graduation.
“I hope every student feels supported and knows we have a staff that has their best interest at heart,” TiAda said. “We want students prepared and confident to enter college, the military, or the workforce when they graduate.”
She also shared excitement about the future of the campus, including facility growth and the planned addition of AFJROTC.
Berry praised TiAda’s readiness to lead and the impact she has already made.
“Mrs. Radtke has built strong, positive relationships with both staff and students while implementing systems that have strengthened our campus structures and elevated overall performance,” Berry said.
Berry added that TiAda embraced the culture of Wylie from day one.
“She deeply values the environment we have built at Wylie High School and across Wylie ISD, and I am confident she will continue to prioritize and strengthen that culture under her leadership.”
Outside of school, TiAda enjoys spending time with her three sons and cheering them on in sports.
“Family time is the best time,” she said.
And as she begins this new chapter, TiAda summed up what so many in the community already know.
“It is great to be a Wylie Bulldog because it is truly a one-of-a-kind district and community where everyone still supports the schools, and the schools are truly the heart of our community.”
