JEFF QUISENBERRY Greetings to our Baker Elementary School students, parents, friends, and family members! As we prepare for the upcoming 2022-23 school year, please know how excited the staff of Baker Elementary School is to work with each of you in shared support of our most precious people: our children. This year we will seek to establish and develop strong community partnerships, empower our Wildcats to pursue and reach high levels of achievement in all their endeavors, prepare our students for the next step in their journey, and have a great time doing so each day! Our commitment, as the staff of BES, is to collaborate with our students’ parents and extended Wildcat community, and pour ourselves into our kids so that Baker Elementary School is the premier place for our students to learn, grow, and thrive.

REAGAN RISLEY Hello, Canadian Elementary students, staff, and parents. I am so excited to see all my little Wildcat friends.

BRUCE BRYANT The safety and security of our children and staff is, above all, the top priority at Canadian ISD. We want our students and employees to feel both physically and psychologically safe in our schools.

LAWANA PULLIAM / MATHERS HALE Another busy summer is coming to an end, and the Canadian ISD Technology and Curriculum Department is ready to tackle the 2022-23 school year! Our team includes Becky Wilson, administrative assistant; Creed Green, technology technician; Mathers Hale, network and systems administrator; and Lawana Pulliam, director of curriculum, instruction, and instructional technology. This summer, we were also blessed with some outstanding student support technicians—Peyton Dockray, Isay Ramirez, and Tucker Landry.

MOLLIE KERRIGAN, RN, BSN Welcome back to another great school year at Canadian ISD. As the district nurse, my goal is for CISD to educate students in the healthiest and safest environment while maintaining a high level of instruction.

KAROL ANN MICHELSEN, CHS ART For the 2022-23 school year, CHS Art is ramping up for the already-in-progress “Catwalk Courtyard” area just outside the library! We are re-purposing garden furniture and wooden palettes, creating mosaics, replanting neglected areas with native plants, and creating a ceramic sculpture garden, just for starters, and trying to create a beautiful and creative gathering area for students, staff, and visitors. We are still in need of donations if you’d like to contribute! We need things like colorful tiles, colorful dishes for mosaic pieces, fencing, clay or plastics pots, patio tables, chairs, umbrellas, and stands.
