Bryan Parra

Bryan Parra was sworn in as a Grand Prairie ISD Board Trustee in June 2020. He works currently as an Assistant Principal and has spent the last six years working in education. Mr. Parra first moved to Grand Prairie in 2003 where he attended Jackson Middle School for two years and would go on to graduate from South Grand Prairie High School in 2009.

Mr. Parra received his undergraduate degree from Texas A&M University in College Station, where the focus of his degree was in Race, Gender, & Ethnicity. His first job after Texas A&M was as a substitute teacher for GPISD. This is where he decided to continue his studies and become a teacher. Mr. Parra learned that education was the tool to transform students and ultimately what prompted him to pursue a teaching certification. Two years after he began teaching, Mr. Parra would go on to pursue a master’s degree in Education Leadership from Dallas Baptist University. He wanted to serve as an example for his students to understand that pursuit of knowledge and education should be a lifelong quest.
