About Me

PictureMr. Dial and His Grandson, Asher
Hello!  Nice to meet you.  I am Byron Dial.  I was born and raised in Hanford, CA.   I graduated from HS in 1984 and got my degree in Bible at Lubbock Christian University.  I met my wife, Stacy while there and we married in 1988.

I entered Youth Ministry right out of college.  I served four years in Bakersfield, CA, then eight more years in Springtown.   I stepped down from ministry so I could spend more time with my own family.
​ 
I went to ECAP to get my alternative certification to become a teacher.  I taught one year at James Bowie High School in Arlington before moving to Paradise Intermediate, where I served as the Special Ed teacher for many years.   I later moved to the junior high to become the technology teacher.  From there I transitioned to the Assistant Technology Director of Paradise ISD.   However I wear many hats as I also remain a technology teacher for the junior high as well as a bus route driver for the district. 

My Passions

Well if you must know, I love many things.   My God, my church, my wife, spending time with my kids , my grandson, singing, writing songs, camping, and making people smile.  I also enjoy working outside and listening to the Rangers play ball.  I say "Listening, becuase I am also passionate about not wasting money, so I don't have any cable or satelite services.   105.3 and I get along just fine.  

My Job

I love my job.  All of them.   Here at PISD, I serve as the Assistant Technology Director for the district.   I am also a bus route driver.  The fact that you are reading this on my classroom page also shows that I seem to have drawn the appropriate straw to be a junior high technology teacher.   I enjoy working with people of all varieties.   I guess it's a good thing I am doing what I am doing!  

I also like to sing. Here's a little karaoke of Styx - Come Sail Away
