I am Sara Taylor, the Gifted and Talented Coordinator for Alvord ISD.  I am so excited to join the Alvord family this year.   Prior to joining Alvord ISD, I taught 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades in Dallas ISD and virtual students for Uplift Education.  I have experience as a Professional Development Specialist for a national education technology company as well.  Born and raised in Wichita Falls, TX, I graduated from Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama where I played soccer and earned a Speech Communication degree. I also hold a master's degree in Christian Education.  After pursuing work in the non-profit and church world for many years, I began my career in public education and have continued on that path for almost 10 years.  

I have been married to my husband, Jeff, for 19 years and we have a 6th grader and an 8th grader who attend Alvord Middle School.  Our family loves this community and I am thankful to be able to work for this incredible district.
