Former Frisco ISD Fine Arts Director Dr. Daryl Trent will have a middle school named in his honor.
The School Board agreed Monday to name the District’s 14th middle school for Dr. Trent, who retired in 2012 after 33 years in FISD.
As the District’s first fine arts director, Dr. Trent played an immeasurable role in building the band program at Frisco High School and the strong fine arts program throughout the District.
In the early years, it was not unknown for him to step in and teach music at all grade levels. He made sure all Frisco children were exposed to the joy and wonder of music.
In addition to his work at FISD, Dr. Trent has also been active in the community band and his church, keeping music alive throughout the community.
Many of his former students have pursued careers in music or music education due to his influence.
Daryl Trent Middle School is set to open in fall 2015 near Legacy Drive and Panther Creek Parkway in Frisco. It will relieve crowding at Stafford Middle School.
