Dr. Whitfield is one of the if not most caring GCISD staff members. He goes above and beyond for everyone. #IStandwithDrWhitfieldAvery Gainer (Colleyville, 2021-08-03)

I'm signing because as a dual credit professor at CHHS during Dr. Whitfield's leadership there, I witnessed countless testimonials from my students about how great he is and how he supported them during the pandemic. My dual credit classes were all online; yet, I felt the amazing leadership of Dr. Whitfield. In addition, there is no truth to allegations against him, and the "questionable" picture is ridiculous to be deemed as such. I know many administrators who have personal FB pages with pics of celebrations with their wives kissing, hugging, dancing, etc. Never have I heard anyone think anything negative...the only difference here is that it is an interracial couple which makes it even more important to stand up for even calling it questionable is unacceptable. There is a perfect quote for this situation: "We do not see things as they are; we see things as we are." As a former GCISD teacher who taught for more than a decade in GCISD I would urge the board to see things objectively, not passively in order to avoid conflict because those with that have to raise their voices and hoot and holler at a board meeting do not have the stronger argument here, not even close.Kim Amyett (2529 Oak Brook Dr., 2021-08-03)

Dr. Whitfield is an amazing man and administrator who loves and cares about this school and this district. This is more than can be said about people like Stetson Clark who are just trying to use this as a springboard to other things. Mr. Clark should be banned from speaking at school board meetings in the future since he’s incapable of following the rules.Rus Chaney (Euless, 2021-08-03)

Dr Whitfield promotes inclusion of all students regardless of race, religion, economic status, sexual orientation … in other words - all people. He supports the use of AVID strategies and philosophy that encourages and supports all students’ success. His example of leadership and humanity is just what we want in GCISD.Karen Moxley (Grapevine, 2021-08-03)

I love dr. Whitfield. He is very professional and does his job well. He has helped every single one of our students numerous times and handled the situations professionally and accordingly. This situation has been a complete mockery of the gcisd school board and I do not stand to tolerate it.Kyle Wright (Euless, 2021-08-03)

As a Texas and DFW native, I feel fortunate that Mr. Whitfield is a Texas educator. I read the letter. Thank you Mr. Whitfield for setting the example for children and grown adults alike of taking the high road and showing empathy.Emma Birbeck (Fort Worth, 2021-08-03)

I have known the Whitfield family for a very long time and have nothing but respect and admiration for Dr. Whitfield. He is an outstanding educator who always does what’s best for kids. He lives a life that is, without question, beyond reproach. He stands up for those who can’t stand up for themselves and is a voice for the voiceless. He demands excellence, fairness and, above all, kindness. Now, it’s our turn to stand up with and for him!Lucia Frohling (Edmond, 2021-08-03)

Dr. Whitfield is a respected and loved member of the GCISD community. There are no basis for the claims against him and the smear campaign against his character. I stand with him and the school district should too. It is time for our school administrators to stop being intimidated by those who won't respond to facts, reason or science.Tanginika Cuascud (Grapevine, 2021-08-03)

Dr. Whitfield is the best principal I’ve ever had. From day one he has had this upbeat energy about him that made everyone’s day better. I saw a change in the environment of the year he was a principal at HMS. He greeted students at the door and would check in on his students when he could. no principal I’ve ever had has been so present with their students, not this year’s principal and not the year before Dr.Whitfield . Dr.Whitfield actually cares about his students and the environment they learn in, we aren’t just test scores to him. in fact, one of the reasons why I was excited about this 2021-2022 year was that Dr.Whitfield would be my principal again. He has great work ethic and is really passionate about his job. like seriously, I’ve never had a principal who likes his school and students as much as him. That is why Dr.Whitfield should stay principal at CHHS.Maria Figueroa (grapevine, 2021-08-03)

I’m signing this because Dr. Whitfield is one of the few people at colleyville who truly cared about the well being of students. He brought positive vibes to everyone even if he had not gotten the chance to meet them. It’s outrageous that it’s even come to this.Tyler Ramirez (Grapevine, 2021-08-03)

Dr. Whitfield is an amazing person and leader. If you had e opportunity to sit and talk with him for even just 30 minutes. Your negative opinions would be changed. He just Wendy’s the best for others and cares deeply about everyone around him. Please reconsider your thoughts and words, it will only keep dividing us not just as a school, but as a community, city, and country. It’s much bigger than this. Look outside of your selfish thoughts and put others before yourself, just like this man has proven.Jake Wiley (Grapevine, 2021-08-03)

I don’t think a picture from 10 years should be an issue at all. Dr Whitfield is an amazing principle. My daughter speaks highly of him. If anything this pic shows his loving side. It shows he is not bias. This is mind blowing that it is even an issue. We have way more things to be concerns with then this.tiffany Cowdery (Euless, 2021-08-03)
