Greetings All,

It is an absolute honor and privilege to serve the community, students and staff of Coupland ISD. My

interactions with the students, staff, parents, and community, while brief, have been nothing short of

fantastic. What a great community! I am excited about the opportunity to work with the Coupland ISD

community in an effort to continue and expand upon great traditions while building and planning

strategically for an even greater tomorrow. The power of WE is greater than the power of me.

Take care,

Earl W. Parcell, Ed.D.
