Our school was named for
Donna Shepard. Mrs. Shepard was born in Susanville,
California in 1944. She received her undergraduate
degree from North Texas State University and
her graduate degree from Tarleton State University.
She spent 20 years as an educator in the Mansfield
school district. She was appointed principal
at Mary Orr Intermediate School in 1993. Mrs.
Shepard's innovative ideas and dedication to
the students at MOIS were admired and respected
by all those who came to know her. Mrs Shepard
continued as principal throughout a courageous
battle with cancer. Although she died in 1999,
her courage and strength continue to inspire
all those who knew and loved her.
