I would like to thank the Hemphill ISD Board of Trustees and the Hemphill community for the opportunity to be a part of this outstanding district. I grew up in Bridge City, Texas and received my BA from UT-Arlington and my M.Ed. from SFA. I have served public education since 1987 in various capacities to include teacher/coach, athletic director, assistant principal, campus principal, assistant superintendent, and superintendent. My educational experience prior to Hemphill has been at the following Texas public school districts: Midlothian, Splendora, Deweyville, Humble, Cleveland, and Kountze.
These are exciting and challenging times in education. With recent changes in school law, we are now able to create more meaningful career/college pathways for our children than before. At the same time we must continue to be good stewards of our financial resources during a time where state funding remains low.
Hemphill ISD has a strong tradition of excellence in academics and extracurricular activities lead by a fine staff of professionals and supported by a wonderful community. It is truly a blessing to be surrounded by school and community leadership committed to providing an exceptional education for all of our children.
My wife, Mary Ann, and I are excited to be a part of the Hemphill community and are honored to work with you and your children.
