There isn't a nationally recognized Superintendent Appreciation Day, so we have decided to make one! Today, May 6th, is now the AISD Superintendent Appreciation Day, which also happens to fall on Mr. Lindsey's birthday!
Our community is truly fortunate to have such an exceptional leader guiding our district. Taw has dedicated more than 20 years of service to the district, growing through a variety of roles—from maintenance, to principal, to Superintendent—demonstrating unwavering commitment and leadership at every step. His deep knowledge of the district’s operations, combined with his tireless work ethic, ensures that AISD consistently provides the highest quality education for our students.
Under his leadership, a culture of positivity, collaboration, and innovation has flourished, strengthening both our schools and our community. We are sincerely grateful for Taw’s dedication, integrity, and the care he brings to his role each day.
Please join us in celebrating Mr. Lindsey! 🎉
