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.

BRADLEY BAKER CHS ENGLISH I Bradley Baker joins the Canadian High School staff as the English I teacher this year, immediately following his release from 22 years of active duty with the Air Force.

ADDYSON MOSELEY CMS SCIENCE / COACH A native of Perryton, Moseley played basketball at UT Tyler for three years before graduating in 2022 from California State University in Monterey Bay, with a degree in Kinesiology. Moseley is a first-ear educator and coach, who said she chose Canadian because of the close community and the high standards that are expected of both the education and athletic programs.
