Abeezar (or Beez, a nickname he has had since his days as a fellow PISD student) has been part of the Centennial family since 2019. Being a kid at heart, Beez has enjoyed spending time at Centennial as a WatchDOG and participating in various PTA volunteer efforts throughout the years. Beez currently serves as the Medical Director of Hospital Medicine at Baylor Scott & White Plano and has enjoyed every minute being a girl dad to his daughters Meera (5th) and Kiara (pre-K). Beez’s wife, Mansi, is an attorney, and between their crazy schedules, they love spending time together as a family. They have a thirst for adventure, travel, skiing, being Swifties, and all things soccer!

“It’s such a privilege to work alongside an incredible group of parents, teachers, community, and children! The Centennial family is the epitome of teamwork, camaraderie, and passion. I can’t wait to build upon the successes of our PTA predecessors and partner with our amazing staff to give our children their best year yet!”

~Abeezar Shipchandler, President, Centennial PTA

Introducing Kimi Hutson, President Elect. You may have seen this face around Centennial. Kimi has been actively involved in all things PTA for several years. Being a former teacher, she felt a calling to return to the classroom. After the pandemic, Kimi took the plunge and added long term Centennial Substitute to her repertoire. With time, her husband, Tom and sons, Jacob (5th) and Kyle (4th) have slowly adjusted to being a "Staff Family" as well as a "PTA Family.”

"I am excited to help lead the BEST PTA in the district! Partnering with families, teachers and community members, we can accomplish great things!”

~Kimi Hutson, President Elect, Centennial PTA
