SUPERINTENDENT'S MESSAGE

We are committed to providing a stimulating learning environment. Students in Ferris ISD need to know that they are loved, valued, and appreciated by district leadership and our support team. Being able to talk directly with the students and hear their first-hand perspective is one of the very best parts of my job.
