WELCOME, JUANITA PRIESAND, ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL
My husband, Steve, and I have been married for 19 years. We are the proud parents of two wonderful children: Cole (12) and Bailey (9). Our family life is filled with the excitement and busyness of competitive cheer, competitive hockey, and various extracurricular activities that keep us on our toes.
For the past 17 years, I have had the privilege of working as a teacher, during which time I have held several leadership positions within both the school and district. I am a graduate of Texas A&M-Corpus Christi with a BA in Elementary Ed and a MA in Educational Leadership from California State-Fullerton. I am eager and excited to embark on this new journey and work alongside a great community of students, teachers, and parents.
I look forward to getting to know each of you and collaborating together to create a positive and enriching learning environment for all.
WELCOME, 5TH GRADE TEACHER, Carla Schroeder.
I am excited to join the fifth grade team this upcoming school year. This will be my fourteenth year in the classroom with teaching experience in third, fourth and fifth grade. I took some time off to raise my three kids while they were young. Now, they will all be high schoolers at CHHS this year. Landon will be a freshman and our twin girls, Addison and Camryn, will be starting their sophomore year. You will be able to find my husband, Wayne, and I at the football games this upcoming fall as our son will be playing on the Freshman team and our girls will be performing during the Friday Night Lights with the Pantera Varsity Dance Team and the CHHS Band... Go Panthers! In my free time, I enjoy traveling, yoga and walking our doodle, Ginger. I am excited for this upcoming year at O.C. Taylor!
WELCOME! Trisha Tylick, PreK Aide
I’m excited to join the OC Taylor team as a Pre-K para. I have a degree in elementary education from Wheelock College in Boston and I worked as a kindergarten teacher prior to staying home with our children
Our family is originally from the east coast but we’ve lived all over the country. We’ve been in Colleyville since the summer of 2018. Our son is a sophomore at CHHS and our daughter is a 6th grader at CMS.
In my free time I enjoy traveling, cooking, building things, reading, and fostering dogs.
Looking forward to joining the OC Taylor team!
Last year, we reviewed the GCISD Emergency Response Protocol, but did you know that if there is a situation at your child's school, there are multiple ways to ensure you receive notification? To ensure you are informed, GCISD will send you text messages (for those who opted in during enrollment), emails and mobile app notifications, and post updates on district social media pages and websites. Make sure you stay up to date with what is happening in the district by following our social media channels and downloading the GCISD app. #WeAreGCISD
