Meet Dr. Bill
Bill and his family have lived in Allen since 2017.
Bill is the Magnet Principal at a high school in a large ISD near Allen. He began work there in 2007 and has served as a teacher, instructional coach, administrator, and district director. In his current capacity he provides educational leadership to over 200 teachers and 2,900 students daily.
Bill also works for AVID Center as a National Staff Developer. Particularly, during the summer, he travels the United States to assist superintendents, cabinet members, and other school and district-level leaders to close the opportunity gap by preparing all students for college and career readiness and success in a global society.
Bill holds a Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in Educational Leadership and a Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Administration from Lamar University. He also is a graduate of Arkansas Tech University where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN).
Bill married his wife, Laura, a long-time Allen resident, in 2019. Laura is a proud member of the Fightin' Texas A&M Aggie Class of 2001 - Whoop! She also holds a Master of Education (M.Ed) from SMU and is a candidate for graduation in May with her Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) from Lamar University. She has over 20 years of experience working in Texas ISDs as a teacher, administrator, and district coordinator. Together, they talk, live, and breathe Texas public education from the moment they awaken to the moment they sleep. Public education is the number one topic of discussion and concern in their home.
Bill and Laura's blended family includes his son, Will (13), his adult daughter, Amber, and Laura's daughter, Alyssa (12). Alyssa attended Bolin elementary and is currently a Ford Mustang. She enjoys playing piano, swimming, and painting. Will attends school at Wester Middle School in Frisco ISD. In his spare time, he enjoys gaming, soccer, lacrosse, and reading. Allen is a fantastic place to raise a family and Bill and Laura have no plans to leave. This is where they choose to raise their children and live.

As you can see, Dr. Bill is a servant leader that splits his time in the community between civic duties and educational events. Within the community, Bill is a member of the Sunrise Rotary Club where he enjoys his duties on the flag teams, roadway cleanup, and meal preparation teams. He enjoys the friendship and fellowship of his fellow Rotarians, and invites everyone to come to a meeting as his guest to experience what Service Before Self feels like.
Bill also volunteers his time locally to local school-related groups. He is an Angel Donor with the Allen Council of PTAs and volunteers at Ford Middle School as a "Dude at the Door." One of his favorite roles is as a Board Member for the Allen Council of PTAs Used Book Fair. By helping distribute books within the community, readers of all abilities have a wide selection of affordable books to select for their reading pleasure.
In 2022, Dr. Bill was honored to receive the Honorary Lifetime Membership by the Texas PTA. Receiving an Honorary Life Membership Award is one of the highest forms of recognition an individual can receive for their dedication to our children and the community.
We hope you will find that Dr. Bill is worthy of your support. He has the education, experience, and dedication to public education to be your next Allen ISD Trustee.
Because. Experience. Matters.
