A Back-to-School Throwback

September 30, 2024

Bulldogs are back, so we thought it would be fun to see what Wylie staff members looked like when they were the age of their students and their favorite thing about school. You may just find you have something in common!

Seventh Grade, Jamie Doby, EJH Seventh Grade Math Teacher
“I liked having responsibility and that we could finally play school sports; playing sports was a huge deal for me. I grew up watching my older sisters play basketball and was eager to have a chance to compete for Wylie.”

Kindergarten, Lisa Bessent, WWE Principal
“I went to Ross Elementary in Odessa, Texas, and I loved recess, lunch and reading.”

 

Fifth Grade, Ricky Bacon, WEI Principal 
“Recess! Ha, ha, ha!”

 

First Grade,  Caren Christian, WEE Principal 
“My favorite thing about elementary school was playing with my friends and when my teachers read books to us!”

 

Pre-School, Lisa Salmon, West Early Childhood Principal
“Of course, my favorite subject was P.E. because I loved gymnastics and square dancing. My favorite academic subject has always been math!”

 

Seventh Grade, Nick Hindes, WJH, Seventh Grade ELAR
“My favorite subjects were art and history.”
