Alumni Spotlight
Theresa Paschall, Crowley High School, Class of 1987
Theresa Paschall has spent the majority of her life in Crowley ISD. She attended CISD schools as a student, raised both
of her children in Crowley schools and is now enjoying more than 20 years as a dedicated employee. When she was a
fifth-grader in Mrs. Weaver’s class at Bess Race Elementary School, she would have never guessed the building would
later become the district’s Central Administration Building and the classroom space would serve as her office as the CISD
Coordinator of Counseling Services.

How has education changed since you graduated?
Paschall: “The technology and innovation that are now
essential in education are such a great thing. I love that
students who want to be in the medical field can receive
highly skilled and specific knowledge while in high
school. We have students producing and directing their
own short films, writing their own books, learning about
the law and law enforcement. Crowley ISD is leading the
way and offers an array of opportunities to our students,
opportunities that I could not have predicted 22 years ago.”
