Meet Emily
I am passionate about Grand Prairie ISD, our students, families, and our community. I am married to Scott, a third-generation Grand Prairie resident who attended GPISD schools. We've lived in Grand Prairie for 21 years and have two daughters, one of whom graduated and one who attends South Grand Prairie High School.
For over a decade before running for office in 2019, I had been involved with our district through PTA, district committees, and focus groups. When you entrusted me with your support to serve you as your District 6 Trustee in 2019, I pledged to be transparent, fiscally responsible, accessible, and fully committed to investing in the leaders of tomorrow.
I have served on the boards of the GPISD Council of PTAs, Warrior Band Fans Booster Club, and Children First Counseling Center. Currently, I serve on the GPISD Education Foundation Board.
Over the past six years, we've worked tirelessly during the good and challenging times to move GPISD forward. We've made tough decisions, celebrated victories, and stood together during the challenges. We've made significant progress and have been THE example of innovation amongst Texas Public Schools!
Results Matter In Grand Prairie ISD
Throughout my tenure on the Board, we've had many accomplishments. Three stand out.
First, as your Trustee, we've worked hard to take the district to an A+ Superior Financial Rating and have maintained it for five years.
Second, we've increased safety and security measures beyond what the state requires with little to no funding from the state.
Third, with the help of our community, I've led the charge in creating a five-year strategic plan that will set the district up for success and provide clear direction for the future.
All these decisions have been made while decreasing the tax rate each year.
