“I am thankful and excited to join the Frenship ISD Board of Trustees. This is a monumental time for Frenship ISD, which is experiencing exponential growth. My family and I have been a part of the Frenship family for more than 15 years, so it only makes sense to do whatever possible to give back to such a great community.” - Shawn Vinson
