The Lewisville ISD (LISD) Board of Trustees appointed Dr. Kevin Rogers as Superintendent of Schools for the state’s 15th largest school district on May 18, 2015. With 30 years experience in education, Rogers has a proven track record of introducing new opportunities for all students and teachers, as well as leveraging them to close the achievement gap.
Since assuming the role of LISD Superintendent, he has worked to be transparent with staff, parents and the community, as well as continue to give all a voice in the decision-making processes of the district. Under his leadership, the district continues to drive initiatives such as LISD’s Strategic Design – where the district’s vision is for “all students to enjoy thriving, productive lives in a future they create” – as well as the district’s 1:X initiative, where all students in grades 4-12 have the right device at the right time for engaging digital learning opportunities.
Rogers’ key focus areas for LISD’s school year include cultural proficiency within LISD, as well as learning standards. Additionally, Rogers recognizes how community and parent involvement plays a vital role in a child's education, impacting not only student achievement, but also a student's social adjustment and confidence. By sharing unique resources, encouraging talents and providing personalized learning opportunities, partners are significant contributors to creating a world in which student's continue to thrive, create and push the boundaries of innovation. Knowing this, it is Rogers’ ambition to continue expanding the district’s Community Partnership program.
In 2010, University of North Texas (UNT) named Rogers the UNT Outstanding Ed.D. Doctoral Student in Educational Administration. Additional awards include being named the Texas Computer Education Association (TCEA)’s State Administrator of the Year in 2007, as well as being named a Texas PTA Lifetime Member in 1998. Rogers also had the opportunity to present his dissertation to the Clark Law School at Brigham Young University.
Rogers began his education career in 1986 as an LISD science teacher at Milliken Middle School (now Delay Middle School) and moved through the ranks as Assistant Principal at Marcus High School, and then Principal at Arbor Creek Middle School prior to becoming the Marcus High School Principal, where he served for 8 years. He then served the district in Central Office positions, where he was the district’s Chief Operations Officer before being named LISD’s Interim Superintendent.
With a passion for serving children and young adults, Rogers has invested countless hours in shaping the future of others, through his role as a mentor to three LISD students. In addition, Rogers has served as an adjunct professor for UNT for the past four years. Currently, he serves on the Board for Medical City of Lewisville and Children's Advocacy Center of Denton County.
Born in Wichita Falls, Texas, Rogers was raised in Andrews, Texas and graduated from Fort Stockton High School. He earned his bachelor’s degree from the UNT, master’s degree from Texas Woman’s University and doctorate degree from UNT.
Dr. Rogers is a proud husband and father, and grateful for the opportunity to serve as superintendent of Lewisville ISD – the best district in our state and in our nation!
