or the past 13 years Pamela Arrington has played many roles and given her all to Argyle
ISD. Her passion to help people and make a difference has left a lasting mark on the district. Although she

department she and Superintendent, Dr. Telena Wright, built from the ground up. Pamela has decided to step down as Director but will stay on part time managing the marketing and events for the district. “When I made the decision, I reflected on what I loved doing, how I could continue helping others in the community, but have a more flexible schedule that would allow me time to rest and focus on my health,” Pamela said. She will continue surrounding herself with all things Argyle as she expands her work with the Argyle Update, her community news Facebook page. Most importantly, she looks forward to a new flexible workload so she can spend more time with her three children, friends, her rescue pup, and her husband. Pamela has worked hard, and even during times of disappointment, she has never given up.
