Richard McReavy has
served as Waller ISD’s superintendent since June, 2002. Prior to becoming
superintendent, he served as Waller ISD assistant superintendent for
administration for five years and as the principal of Waller High School
for two years.
Before coming to Waller ISD, McReavy served 16 years as the principal of
Reagan County High School in Big Lake, Texas; and as a math teacher and
coach in both Reagan County ISD and Northside ISD in San Antonio.
He holds a B.S. degree in Mathematics from Southwest Texas State
University (now Texas State University-San Marcos), a Masters Degree in
Administration from Angelo State University, and a Superintendent
Certification from Sul Ross State University. In 2003-2004, he completed
the Superintendents Academy at Lamar University. He also serves as a
graduate adjunct professor in the Department of Educational Leadership
and Counseling at Prairie View A&M University. McReavy currently serves on the TASA’s Legislative Committee, is a participant in TASA’s Public Education Visioning, and currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Texas Association of Mid-Size Schools. He has served on the Texas Association Secondary School Principals Board of Directors, and as the President of the Permian Basin Principals Association, and previously served three years as a member of the Region IV Executive Committee. In 2007, McReavy was inducted in to Prairie View A&M University’s Leadership Academy Hall of Honor. While at Waller ISD, McReavy has made presentations and served on a number of regional and state committees for curriculum, campus management, innovative programs, educational cooperatives, and facility development. He has successfully developed programs in dual college credit, technology, tech prep, and academic improvement; and overseen the establishment of multiple partnerships with business and higher education, including a partnership with the Harris County Sheriff’s Department (HCSD) that has resulted in the highly successful Waller ISD School Resource Officer Program. Since Waller ISD entered this agreement with the HCSD eight years ago, the District has been recognized by the Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program as the safest school district in Harris County. The District’s partnership with Tomball College provides Waller High School students the opportunity to attain 52 hours of college credit through dual college and high school credit courses. If a student can earn all 52 hours of college credit offered at WHS, they will be just 8 hours shy of “junior” status upon entering college. Under McReavy’s guidance, the District has also developed a unique dual language program. Parents of kindergarten students may opt to enroll their child in this program where students are taught in both English and Spanish. The program provides equal consistency in the use of each language and the students are given plenty of opportunity to use the two languages in real conversation and academic settings. McReavy has also been instrumental in the successful passage of the last four Waller ISD bond elections; and under his leadership, the District’s state accountability scores have steadily improved. All Waller ISD elementary schools have been recognized or exemplary. |
