Shannon Luedtke - Naomi Pasemann Elementary, 2nd Grade Teacher
I love working for Taylor ISD because Taylor is a small, tight knit community that I am proud to call home! I have lived here for 5 years and am going into my 4th year working for the district and I enjoy getting to know and understand our community even more by working with our little Ducks!
The families here in Taylor ISD truly want a great educational experience for their child and being able to partner with them in that journey is such an honor and a responsibility that I don't take lightly.
Taylor ISD is special because our educators and administration truly care about each and every student who walks through our doors! We strive to make sure each student, regardless of their background, feels valued and supported by all of the staff members that they interact with on a daily basis. Taylor ISD has a lot to offer our community and I am so excited for the future and growth of our district!

KatiAnn Philhower - Main Street Intermediate, Dyslexia Teacher
The people I get to work with are the reason why I love working for Taylor ISD. I've been blessed to work with some talented educators and administrators. Taylor ISD has invested in me as an educator and allowed me to grow in my career. My own children have been Taylor Ducks since they were three months old, attending the school daycare (CDC). I'm proud that they are part of a school community that has a strong tradition and history. Once a duck, always a duck!
Tammy Truex - Taylor Middle School, 7th Grade Science Teacher,
I love working for TISD because the challenges of teaching allow me to work with amazing people and encourage me to continually grow.
The quote "once a duck, always a duck" is a special statement. This a community that represents a family. I am blessed to have attended the district as a student K-12, teach with those who taught me, work with former students as peers, and continue to serve generations to come.
It is so very inspiring and motivating to know of students and peers who make a difference in this world.

Brandon Greene - Taylor High School, Special Education Teacher/Head Boys Basketball Coach
The more I talk to our students and get to know them, the more I am completely impressed by them. I've never had more joy working with a group of kids then I have in my now 2 years at Taylor High School. I love working for Taylor ISD because they allow me to be myself. I feel that I am given the opportunity to be the best teacher I can be.
Laurie Mynar - TH Johnson Elementary School, Pre-K Teacher
I strongly believe in Taylor ISD's mission statement and vision. Taylor ISD will continue to be an amazing school district for students, staff, and the community. Once a duck, always a duck! It's a great school district to work for due to the amazing leadership, wonderful school morale on the campuses, and the community feels like one, big family. I love working for Taylor ISD because I love the positivity, the encouragement, and the support I get as a teacher for doing what's best for students.
Cindy Terrazas - Pasemann Elementary School, 1st Grade Teacher
Having grown up in Taylor I feel a deep connection with the community, parents, and students. Both of my parents served as educators for Taylor ISD and played a huge role in my return to teach where I grew up. I have great memories of going to school in Taylor and love the fact that I am able help students gain the same feelings and experiences I had growing up here.
Taylor has the most amazing sense of community. The town and people have a way of rallying around the schools and kids. The Taylor community is one that is so welcoming we often see people leave town and come back to teach and continue living and caring for one another. That sense of community carries into our schools as we truly get to know the parents of our children because we soon see that they are neighbors, relatives, and alumni that continue giving back to our schools.
I am excited to see everyone’s positive outlook for our future! While we always honor our past, I can see how bright our future will be! #OnceADuckAlwaysADuck

Chelsey Ellison - Taylor Middle School, Principal
Taylor is home; it's where my heart is and a district that I am proud to be a part of. Taylor ISD is a district that truly believes in doing what is best for students, and supporting teachers and administrators in creating the best educational environments and opportunities that our students deserve.
Taylor, even though a growing community, still has the welcoming, small town feel and our district is committed for providing the best educational opportunities for our students to develop and fulfill their unique potential.

I love working for Taylor ISD because of the phenomenal students that walk through my door every day. They are the reason I do what I do. I'm constantly surrounded by people on the cusp of changing the world, and I get to help them figure out how. What's better than that? Legacy is an incredibly special place to work.
