          As Julie Wyatt prepares to retire, it is appropriate to consider
          the impact she (and her father) have made on our West Texas
          community.
          As the school year comes to a close at Talkington, a huge space
          is opening which this beloved leader has occupied for so long.
          One thing is sure: students and teachers alike are accustomed to a
          principal who embraces excellence, loves students, inspires teachers,
          and respects parents. This fearless leader will be sorely missed. The
          good news is that, just as leadership skills were passed on to Julie   Talkington High School
          by her parents, she has imparted them to her teachers and students.   recipients of the Margaret

          has sealed the endowment. Julie Wyatt has personally seen to it that
          the Talkington School for Young Women Leaders is not just a name.
          Her legacy, like her dad’s, is sure to reproduce what has been sown
          into it—leadership.

          Here’s to retirement and new beginnings, Mrs. Wyatt. But rest
          assured that, as you move on, your legacy will remain in the
          qualities you have instilled into teachers, students, and parents.
          We are all better off for the leadership that you have so gracefully
          provided. The world is better off for the leadership skills that
          you not only inherited, but also generously bestowed on the next
          generation, to be passed on to countless others.





               It has been an honor to have Mrs. Wyatt as the principal of our school. She has constructively made a safe
               and productive school environment for students and set performance goals for our school. Mrs. Wyatt has
               fostered an encouraging learning environment. Specifically, that is what has impacted my experience here
               at Talkington School for Young Women Leaders.
