The Potters: It’s A Family Thing

“I have been around NEISD since birth. My dad (John L Potter) started with NEISD in 1959 at Walzem ES and retired 33 years later from Eisenhower M.S. where he was a coach/teacher. My mom (Carol Potter) worked at Olmos, Stahl and Encino Park where she retired as a librarian with 35 years of service. My kid sister (Debbie Potter Dowd) worked at Stahl and Fox Run for 11 years. I worked for several years in the construction trade and in 1991 came to work for NEISD as a custodian so I could contribute to education. I started with the original opening of Oak Meadow and eventually moved to Windcrest as head custodian. Presently I work in the Maintenance dept. as the HVAC Controller. And to make it even more special, my daughter (Billie Potter) is presently the assistant Head custodian at Northwood Elem. Over the past 15 + years I have developed many contacts and friends and I am proud to say I attended Olmos , Nimitz and graduated from Robert E Lee H.S. in 1979. I am even prouder to say I am an employee with NEISD and I am doing my part to assist in the education of the leaders of tomorrow. My goal is to retire in two years with 30 years of service.” -David Potter
