Man,my grandfather and mother were sharecroppers that couldn't read or write, and now I'm about to lead the flagship school of Mesquite ISD. Don't tell me what God can't do.

- They didn’t have to use my full government name! I’ll be a Roosevelt for a long time, but I’m proud to have reached this accomplishment. #blessed #mygrandfathercouldntreadorwrite!
- Assistant Coaches, this is a prime example of carrying yourself for the job you want. Congratulations to you and your family, Coach, on your well-deserved promotion to Head Football Coach! # Striving for Excellence: BrickbyBrick!
- Got a chance to introduce the POTUS to my dad. He's 72 yrs old and the first role model I ever had.
- When I took the helm at Roosevelt, I believed in the community, my faith,& myself. I was confidently delusional-&we did what many thought was impossible. Do you believe? We're looking to build on Coach Garrett's success. You'll have the opportunity to bring your team.
- This morning a gay male asked me, can I give you a compliment? I said, of course. He said, your suit is nice, & your collar is impeccable. I asked, can I give you advice? He said,yes. Don't ever ask can you give a compliment.Give it. If there is issue, its there issue,not yours.
- There are football players from @NorthMesquiteHS at our Spring Game. I asked them to sit in the stands and they replied, yes sir. Didn't know who I was, my title, or who I knew. Such respectful young men. Great job parents, staff, and coaches. @KoachV
- It's an honor to serve the Oak Cliff Community. Thank you for your leadership. I pray for you daily.You’re going to love the tradition Principal Joseph started for his seniors.
- I was out sick,our Assistant Superintendent of Student Services texted me to ask, "how are you doing? " I was shocked bc I don't know him well. That action is not listed in most leadership books, but goes further than any rubric. Thx you @mjasso12
- Again, he won't brag but I will. This is just as important to me as a win on the field. Keep setting the standard @DemarcusHarri01 @DrVroonland @mesquiteisdtx @GeraldSarpy
- A dad &mom of our 1st yr teacher came to their son's 1st day of work. Mom hugged dad,smiled, & said, "One day,he'll be a principal."Dad whispered to me," If there is anything I can do to help my son, let me know." Reminder: Everybody is someone's child. #PeopleBusiness
