I have enjoyed working closely with all the board members during my tenure in the district. I am proud of our accomplishments and thank you for the leadership you have provided for the district.

“I have been very fortunate and feel most humbled to have been able to work alongside so many great educators over the years.

The success La Grange ISD has experienced is a direct result of the administrators, teachers, and staff that have been committed to the students of this district over the years.

“Education is not about the past, it is about the future. Time moves on and I look forward to La Grange ISD growing and prospering. I truly believe the best years lie ahead for this district. I wish everyone associated with the district continued success. Thank you again for believing in me and allowing me to serve in the best superintendent role in the State of Texas.”
