OUR TOWN

One of the things I enjoy most about the start of a new school year, even in retirement, is the opportunity of speaking to the Taylor Independent School District’s new employees at their orientation. I love talking about our community and sharing our unique heritage with those new to the area. My goal is for them so become so proud of their new hometown they can’t wait to tell others about the great decision they made in choosing Taylor.

I get especially fired up when I talk about people from Taylor who have taken flight and are soaring high. So many have gone on to do great things right here at home as well as at state, national and even international levels.
