Dr. Jamie Wilson, superintendent of the Denton ISD, has been named the Region 11 Superintendent of the Year for 2020. The Superintendent of the Year Award, sponsored by the Texas Association of School Boards, honors outstanding Texas administrators for achievement and excellence in public school administration.

Wilson, who has 15 years of administrative experience, has served Denton ISD as superintendent of schools for eight years.  His experience in education spans 28 plus years, including his early roles in Aubrey and Keller ISDs as a teacher, coach, assistant principal, and principal. He went on to join Denton ISD as an assistant superintendent for secondary academic programs and deputy superintendent before assuming the superintendency. He earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees as well as his doctorate in educational administration from The University of North Texas. 

As part of TASB’s award process, regional winners for the SOTY award must be selected by a panel of local school board members.  This year’s panel included trustees from districts throughout the north-central Texas (Region 11) area.

“Jamie Wilson stood out as an excellent candidate not only for his strong leadership skills but also for his commitment to do the best for everyone in his district,” said Karina Davis, a school board trustee from Keller ISD.  “From students to teachers, to the community at large – Dr. Wilson is focused on collaboration and innovation to allow for each and everyone to excel in their own way.”
