Last night, we gathered at the Wylie Performing Arts Center to honor six incredible Wylie ISD team members who are retiring after decades of dedicated service. It was a joyful celebration filled with heartfelt hugs, shared memories, and well-deserved recognition.
We proudly celebrated:
Lisa Mayes, Early Childhood – 22 years
Rose Bristow, West Junior High – 33 years
Dana Elliott, West Junior High – 30 years
Alice Hall, High School – 30 years
Carla Hooper, Early Childhood – 36 years
Chad Widder, High School – 28 years
Their impact across our campuses—from the littlest Bulldogs to our graduating seniors—has been nothing short of extraordinary.
We extend a huge thank you to the Wylie Bulldogs Education Foundation for providing thoughtful gifts to honor each retiree, and to Wylie’s Advanced Culinary students, who prepared a delicious spread that included chicken salad croissants, pimento cheese pasta salad, pinwheels, deviled eggs, and mouthwatering desserts.
Thank you to everyone who joined us in sending off these wonderful educators with the love and gratitude they deserve. Once a Bulldog, always a Bulldog!
