Hello Paris ISD,

     It is such an honor and a privilege to be your Superintendent.  I am starting my 33rd year in education, with 27 of those being a proud Wildcat.  I have served as a teacher, coach, counselor, assistant principal, principal, and as an assistant superintendent before moving into the role of the Superintendent of Paris ISD.  Our District has a rich history of providing an excellent education to a diverse population of students.  We have a strong record of accomplishment of academic achievement and growth.  
     A great school district is the cornerstone of this community.  Our community and schools work collaboratively and support each other, ensuring students have access to high quality programs and opportunities that prepare our young people for great careers and futures.
     You have my commitment to work tirelessly with our parents, community, students, educators, and all other stakeholders to focus on those important matters that ensure we are providing excellence in every aspect in our district.  It will be my mission to foster and cultivate the relationships with our stakeholders, while making decisions based on what is best for our students.
     As we start this new journey together, I hope you trust that we will hold our students to high standards of accountability, discipline, and good citizenship, along with ourselves.  Paris ISD is an amazing school district full of amazing staff members who provide so many opportunities for students. 
     If you ever have any questions or concerns, my door is always open. 
     We are looking forward to a great school year!

Althea Dixon
Paris ISD, Superintendent
