Saturday is a great day to support your Foxes!


Chris Tillery is the newest member of the Caddo Mills ISD Board of Trustees, joining in May of 2024. He has lived in Caddo Mills with his high school sweetheart and wife of 24 years, Katie, and their 3 kids for over a decade now. Their oldest, Shelby, is a 2021 Caddo Mills High School graduate. Their middle child, Austin, is a senior this year. Their youngest, Addison, is a freshman.
Chris is employed with Circle K as an Operations Project Manager, which keeps him busy, but he still finds time for volunteer work. He’s coached many teams through CMYSA. For the past several years, he has announced games for CMYSA, CMMS, freshman, and JV football games. He has also volunteered outside our community, including a grief camp for kids. His wife has also been heavily involved in volunteering as well including serving on the boards of CMYSA, Lee, and CMMS PTO, and currently serving on the CMABC Board.
Chris decided to join the board because he believed in the great leadership already in place with Caddo Mills ISD and wanted to be a part of the planning going forward. Great things are happening daily in Caddo Mills ISD, and he wants to do his part to continue the positive progress!
IT’S ALWAYS A GREAT DAY TO BE A FOX!

Tragically, the family experienced a profound loss in December 2023 with the passing of their eldest child in an auto accident. The family created a brand to honor him, which is set up at www.trippykowboy.com, where you can read about his life and the brand's purpose.
Eddie enjoys fishing, hunting, raising cattle, and spending quality time with his family in his free time.
He extends his heartfelt gratitude to the community for entrusting him with this leadership role within the district.
