Hope you are having a great summer!  We are pleased to welcome Mr. Richard Sullivan back to Dewitt Perry Middle School!  Mr. Sullivan brings an exemplary teaching background to the Mighty Eagle Band.   

Mr. Richard Sullivan’s career began in Georgetown Texas in 1979.  As a member of the Georgetown team, the bands won the TMEA 4A Honor Band 3 times, and the UIL State Marching Contest for 4A Bands 5 Times.

The Georgetown Junior High Bands were three times TMEA 3C State Honor Band Finalists and consistent UIL Sweepstakes Award Winners. 

In 1991, Mr. Sullivan moved to Midway Middle School in the Midway Independent School District in Hewitt Texas.  While there the middle school band earned the first consecutive UIL Sweepstakes Awards in more than 20 years.

In 1995, Mr. Sullivan moved to Coppell Texas and worked at Coppell Middle School West.   The middle school program fed into the award winning Coppell High School Band under the direction of Scott Mason. 

After a year in Frisco, Mr. Sullivan joined Mr. Paul Schmidt at DeWitt Perry Middle School in Carrollton and spent 5 wonderful years working with Mr. Schmidt and the students of DWP.  During this time, the Perry Middle School Band was TMEA 3C Honor Band finalists two times (in 2008 and 2009).

After 2 years at Blalack Middle School, Mr. Sullivan returns to DeWitt Perry Middle School.
