Meet Dr. Dallas Lee, Asst. Superintendent of Operations & Educational Services
I'm Dr. Dallas Lee, a proud native Chicagoan thrilled to share a bit about myself as your new Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services and Operations.
From being a secondary English teacher to a principal and even a principal supervisor, my journey in education has been an exciting adventure. Each role has shaped my understanding and fueled my passion for creating extraordinary learning experiences.
I truly believe that teamwork makes the dream work. Collaboration is my secret sauce for making our schools vibrant places of growth and learning. I'm all about supporting our mission to educate, empower, and inspire every child in our community.
I'm buzzing with excitement about the road ahead! I can't wait to meet and partner with all of you. My door is always open for a chat, support, or a good idea. Let's build something amazing together!
My mantra is simple: our students deserve our best every single day. It's the heartbeat of my commitment to giving every child an enriching education in ESD159.
So, as we embark on this new chapter together, let's continue creating a community where teamwork thrives, students shine, and we all grow together.
Here's to a fantastic journey ahead!
