Minshew Elementary 20th Anniversary - In Our Twenties Era https://tinyurl.com/8tns7d6t Taylor Swift has enjoyed tremendous success with her “Eras Tour”, and Jennifer Larriviere decided to echo the popstar’s trend as our district celebrates the 20th anniversary of Minshew Elementary. “We’re moving into our 20’s era so it’s about honoring the past, our journey to get here, and then it’s also having that vision for the future.” Larriviere is the current principal of Minshew, and she was honored to commemorate this milestone with current and past educators from the campus.

Celebrating 20 Years of Excellence at Minshew! It’s hard to believe that Minshew opened its doors at the start of the 2004-2005 school year with just 700+ students. Today, we stand proud as a thriving community, continuing the legacy of our namesakes, Gary & Bobbye Jack Minshew. This year, as we mark our 20th anniversary, we take a moment to honor the incredible impact Gary & Bobbye Jack Minshew had on McKinney ISD. From Gary’s dedication as a teacher, principal, and assistant superintendent, to Bobbye’s 26 years of inspiring students and leading countless organizations at McKinney High, their contributions shaped the foundation of our school and community. Here’s to 20 years of growth, pride, and tradition. Proud to be Minshew Colts, and excited for the next 20!
