Dr. Felicia Layne
Chancellor

Felicia.Layne@gpisd.org

This year marks my twenty-fifth as an educator (twenty-two of those in GPISD) serving as a classroom teacher, school counselor, and dean.

As a native of Shreveport, LA, I received my bachelor’s and master’s degree both from Southern University A&M College in Baton Rouge, LA. After moving to Texas, I obtained my counseling certification from Dallas Baptist University and my principal certification from the University of Texas – Arlington. In 2015, I received my doctorate degree in Educational Leadership from Dallas Baptist University.

When I am not at school, I love spending time with my husband and daughter. I also enjoy reading, decorating, photography, traveling and discovering new places to dine. Additionally, I am a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

I look forward to another amazing year with our scholars, families, staff, and community members. Please know that my door is always open, so feel free to reach out to me at any time.
