A Texas State University master’s program graduate has been named Superintendent of the Year by the Texas Association of School Boards.

Dan Troxell of Kerrville ISD was recognized at the Texas Association of School Administrators (TASA)/TASB Convention.

He earned a bachelor’s degree at the University of Texas (UT) at Austin, master’s at Texas State University, and doctorate at UT–Austin.

The award is given to recognize chief administrators who exemplify excellence and achievement in educational leadership.

State finalists for the award included Ted Moore, Lovejoy ISD; Stephen Waddell, Birdville ISD; Dennis Hill, Llano ISD and Doug Harriman, Seminole ISD.

Serving approximately 4,800 students, Troxell has led Kerrville ISD for six years and has more than 18 years of experience in education administration.

The state selection committee focused on such issues as community support, financial challenges, teamwork, advocacy and societal and demographic changes affecting education.

Troxell is a board member of the Kerrville Area Chamber of Commerce, Kerrville Economic Development Foundation, Kerrville Little League and TASB Risk Management Fund. He is also the founder of the Greater Hill Country–San Antonio Consortium of Districts.

In addition, Troxell serves on the TASA Legislative Committee, UIL Legislative Council, Commissioner of Education Committee for Gifted and Talented Education and ESC 20 Regional Advisory Executive Committee.

Troxell received a monetary award for professional development, which he has donated back to the district, and a Superintendent of the Year ring.
