Andrews previously served as the Deputy Superintendent and has been with the school district since 2021, coming from Waxahachie ISD as Assistant Superintendent of District Operation and Instructional Technology.
Andrews has served as the Deputy Superintendent since 2023 and is now stepping into the Interim Superintendent role with a "strong vision for student success and district growth."
