It is an honor and privilege to be named Superintendent by the Quinlan ISD Board of Trustees. I am very grateful for the opportunity to continue my career with such a great district. Each day I will strive to achieve the vision and mission of the district for every student. I am committed to maintaining the reputation of our school district as an exceptional place for students to receive an extraordinary education that will prepare them for college or the workforce. I believe in setting high education standards that challenge students on a daily basis. We will be student-centered and base decisions on what is best for all QISD children. Servant leadership best describes my leadership style and I will strive to serve the community as best I can.
