And That's A Wrap On This Year's First Pep Rally!

Meet Mr. Vercher

Meet Mr. Vercher, your new Chisholm Trail Middle School principal! Seeing as he’s your principal, we think you should get to know him. We set up an interview with Mr. Vercher, so Chisholm Trail could find out more about him.

Mr. Vercher graduated from Sterling College in Kansas, got his Masters from the University of Houston, and he also received his Superintendent Certification at the University of North Texas. He’s been married to his wife for 15 years. He also has three kids, a three year old, a six year old, and a ten year old. Some of his hobbies and interests include being with  his family, going on hiking trails, staying in shape, and going to places like the theater, amusement parks, TCU football games, and the symphony. Mr. Vercher has also been a teacher and an assistant principal before he became a principal.

“I had teachers who made a big difference in my life, and that’s why I wanted to be a teacher,” he told us, “Eventually that lead me to be an assistant principal and then a principal.”

        We also asked him about his goals for this year. He replied with, “I want to be the best possible middle school principal that Chisholm Trail could have and to motivate and inspire people to be their very best. One of my very favorite things in the world and as a principal is to see people be successful. If I can help that in any way, I’m successful.”

We hope you learned more about your new principal. He’s pretty cool, don’t you think? He also wanted us to let you know one thing, “I sincerely care about Chisholm Trail. I want them to know that if you can dream it, set goals, and work to achieve them you can accomplish anything.
