Let’s get to know Derrick Hinson!

Derrick has known his wonderful wife Pam since he was 6 years old, but the two married in 1983. Their family has made Walkertown home since 1987. They have two children - Brittany Nicole and Derrick Gray, Jr. and four grandchildren ages 9 to 3.

Besides 25 years as an Educator himself, his grandchildren are the reason public education means so much to him. Derrick believes deeply in improving the system by which we educate our children, and that academics and character building must work hand in hand to produce successful young adults who are ready for the future they inherit.

In addition, we have to be transparent in our fiscal responsibilities.

The love for his own family and all of the young people he has taught and coached across 25 years in the classroom have compelled him to answer a call to service with the wsfcs system. It is his hope to earn your vote in the March 3rd primary!
