The SOTY Award was established in 1984 to honor superintendents in public schools across Texas who demonstrate exemplary leadership skills and a strong commitment to student success and community engagement.
Nominations for the award began in January when superintendents were nominated by members of their school boards. Following the nomination, the candidates are reviewed by the regional selection committee and one nominee is chosen from each region.
'Mr. Dean's leadership has transformed Chapel Hill ISD into a district focused on innovation, equity, and academic growth,' CHISD School Board President Les Schminkey said. 'We are proud to see his dedication recognized at the regional level.'
