I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible support and understanding Wylie ISD and Cooper Junior High has shown me during my recent illness.
From the first day, I informed the district and my co-workers of my situation, you demonstrated a level of care and concern that I deeply appreciate. Your willingness to accommodate my needs, check in on my well-being, and reassure me that my health was a top priority has allowed me to focus on my recovery without added stress. Knowing that I could rely on such a dedicated and understanding team has been a tremendous comfort.
I am incredibly grateful to work under leadership that not only values productivity but also cares about the well-being of its team members.

I taught in Wylie Independent School District for 34 years, I’m currently a part-time math tutor at Whitt Elementary, and I work closely with all the Wylei ISD elementary schools as the Book Project chairman of Wylie Retired School Employees.
I’m so fortunate that I discovered and joined this district back in 1987, and I’ve enjoyed every minute of these past 37 years, both as a teacher and retiree. Wylie ISD has been and continues to be very good to me!

My family and I love being a part of the Wylie ISD family. We have two kids who are attending Wylie ISD schools, and they are getting a quality education that prepares them for college and beyond. As an ISS Administrator at Burnett Junior High, I work with amazing teachers and staff who create a positive and supportive learning environment for the students.
My wife is a board member of the Wylie East Booster, and she supports the Pride of the East band program that fosters creativity and teamwork among the students. Wylie ISD is more than a school district, it's a community that values diversity, innovation, and excellence.

Even after 34 years of teaching and four years of retirement, Wylie Independent School District STILL plays an important role in my life! I enjoy tutoring and interacting with my math students two days a week at Whitt Elementary; I volunteer every Thursday with the third grade Green Team at Whitt; and as the ECHO Book Project chairman of the Wylie Retired School Employees group, I help raise money and collect books to promote reading literacy at our elementary campuses. I am grateful to Wylie ISD for all of these opportunities!
