Never Give Up

NEVER by Brooke Ezzo GIVE UP

For 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 may be stepping back, she doesn’t plan on going anywhere.

After what she thought was a basic chest cold, Pamela was told she had an electrical abnormality in her heart that was causing her lower right ventricle to double pump.

Adding this heart issue to health issues she had already been dealing with, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Lupus, the symptoms started to slow her down.

“I had to make some changes immediately after finding out about my heart issue,” Pamela said.

For the past few years Pamela has been the Director of Public Relations and Communications for the district. A 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.
