“There’s never a good time to make this type of announcement, and this is hard for me because I love LISD, the people that I work with, and the students we serve,” Rogers said video announcement on Tuesday. “Yet, I learned a long time ago that if you wait until you feel like you finished all the work you want to finish, you’ll never be able to move on. I know it is time for me to step aside and allow our board of trustees to select LISD’s next leader.”
He has worked in education for a total of 41 years, and he worked for five years with the Texas Department of Mental Health before joining Lewisville ISD.
Rogers was born in Wichita Falls and was raised in Andrews, Texas. He graduated from Fort Stockton High School, and he earned his bachelor’s degree from North UNT, master’s degree from Texas Woman’s University, and doctorate degree from UNT.
