As I prepare to retire from public education on June 30, 2025, I want to take a moment to thank each family and patron of the Guy-Perkins School District for allowing me to serve as Superintendent the past six years. It has been one of the greatest honors of my career. I am leaving with a grateful heart and full confidence that the Guy-Perkins School District is in good hands moving forward with Susan McKinney. Go T-birds! -- Dr. Joe Fisher (Retired Superintendent)
