As part of School Board Recognition Month, we asked our trustees to reflect on their work and share their perspectives on key aspects of leadership. Today, we’re spotlighting Carrie Trees, who shared her approach to ensuring every student has access to opportunities that help them succeed and contribute to Texas’ future.

 How do you work to ensure that every student has access to opportunities that help them succeed and contribute to Texas' future?

I focus on making decisions that prioritize equity, ensuring every student, no matter their background, has access to quality resources, excellent teachers, and innovative programs. I also believe in listening to students and parents to understand their needs and create opportunities that help every child succeed and contribute to Texas’ future.

Carrie’s commitment to equity is a reminder of the critical role trustees play in shaping the educational landscape for all students. We thank Carrie Trees for her service and commitment to excellence and the success of Troy ISD students.
