Dallas Isom....thank you. Thank you for all of your years of dedication to JISD. You have been invaluable to this school and community. I do know that you turned in your retirement letter after the last day teachers are on campus so we could not throw you a party. You would leave campus without a fuss because that's how your are.
Please know that you will be missed dearly. Thank you for teaching our kids and loving them like your own. JISD is better for you having been here.
