Royse City ISD is thrilled to welcome Justin Mork as the new Principal of Ouida Bailey Middle School. Mr. Mork is no stranger to our community; he has served as Associate Principal at Bobby Summers Middle School since July 2025, where he has been a visible, trusted leader committed to students, teachers, and campus culture from day one.
Mr. Mork holds an M.Ed. in Administration from Lamar University and a B.S. in Sociology/Criminology from the University of Oklahoma. With nearly two decades of experience at the middle school level, including eight years as assistant principal, Mr. Mork brings deep expertise in campus leadership, instructional support, and building cultures where students and teachers thrive. His entire career has been dedicated to this stage of learning, and it shows.
Mr. Mork is known for his genuine love of students, his restorative approach to discipline, and his hands-on investment in teacher growth and wellbeing. Families can expect a principal who will know their child by name, and teachers can expect a leader who will show up for them every single day.
Justin is a firm believer in data-informed decision-making, collaborative problem-solving, and robust instructional frameworks to ensure every student achieves academic success and personal growth. Known for his visible, hands-on leadership style, he places a premium on supporting teachers' professional goals and well-being, ensuring they have the structure and care needed to thrive.
Furthermore, his expertise in restorative practices and de-escalation ensures a safe, accountable, and consistent learning environment where discipline serves as a tool to teach self-behavior mastery while keeping vital relationships intact.
