The Scribner Family

Kent and Suleyka Scribner equate Fort Worth with family. They relocated here from Arizona two years ago when Kent was named Fort Worth ISD superintendent. The move brought them closer to Kent’s parents - retired UT-Austin professor Dr. Jay D. Scribner and Texas State University professor emeritus Dr. Alicia Paredes Scribner.
This family of educators - Suleyka is also a teacher - settled into Fort Worth easily. They credit the congeniality of the people of this city for making them feel right at home.
Suleyka and Kent are also Fort Worth ISD parents. The youngest of their four children attends Westcliff Elementary. The Scribners enjoy attending McKinney Bible Church and fellowship with the community.
Kent appreciates the “can-do” spirit of the city, especially when it comes to education. Along with Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price and BNSF Executive Chairman Matt Rose, he is collaboratively leading a community-wide effort to have all third-graders reading above grade level by 2025.
