SUPERINTENDENT'S CORNER
Hello EISD Family,
Spring is here! It seems this semester has flown by much like this school year. As I visit campuses, I’m so proud of our students and staff. Our teachers and students are working hard gearing up for the end of year, and we have so much to be thankful for.
Next month, May 25 th , we will watch our graduates from Everman Academy and Everman High School receive their diplomas as they enter into college, military and the workforce. Congratulations to our EISD seniors and we wish them the very best! In addition, several Everman Collegiate High School students will graduate with their Associates Degree from Tarrant County College. We are proud of the hard work and dedication each student displayed on a daily basis to achieve their goals. They were determined and it showed!
Each year we say good-bye to retiring faculty and staff who chose to start a new life adventure. Congratulations to each of these educators for the many lives they impacted in a positive way. The district has received an abundance of blessings because of the knowledge and expertise these educators shared with us. Many of our students have experienced success and will continue to do so as they become productive citizens because these wonderful educators had a hand in creating and opening the door of knowledge as well as making each student believe they could achieve every goal they set for themselves.
Thank you for your continuous support and valuable input! I sincerely appreciate each and every one of you!
WE are Everman One Goal One Purpose… Student Success!
Sincerely,
Dr. Felicia Donaldson Superintendent
