Welcome to Tally Elementary School!

A BIT ABOUT WHO I AM: I am the Computer Lab Aide. My wife, Cheryl Manchester, works at the Kerrville ISD Central Office. We have four children, Jon Paul, Laura, Timothy, and Caleb. We also have two grandchildren, Quinn and Trystin. We have lived in Kerrville for 12 years and we LOVE the Hill Country. In addition, I love students and computers, so Tally is a perfect place for me to work!

A BIT ABOUT MY LIFE WITH COMPUTERS: I have enjoyed computers since 1988, experiencing the changes to computer Operating Systems, from DOS 3.2 to today’s Windows11, (although the first computer I used was the original 1984 Macintosh with its 9” amber screen). I have used Microsoft Office Pro, from the DOS 5.1 version to MS Office Pro 2016. I love helping students learn proficiency in the computing world, whether it’s conquering word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, databases, or learning the nomenclature of "computer-speak."

A BIT ABOUT WORKING AT TALLY: Tally is a wonderful workplace! Staff, students and parents are amazing. Your students are awesome to work with and it is a pleasure watching their weekly progress at the Tally Elementary School computer lab!
