Although Shane Webb, who recently served as assistant superintendent of academics for the Gatesville Independent School District, is now superintendent for Oglesby ISD, his contributions and positive impact for GISD earned recognition during the GISD Board of Trustees Staff Spotlight for June.
Webb was recognized at the June 19 school board meeting for more than a decade of service to the district.
He grew up in Duncanville and played college baseball for the University of Louisiana at Monroe. Both as a college and high school baseball player, Webb earned academic and athletic awards, including Gold Glove and tournament Most Valuable Player recognition.
After earning undergraduate and graduate degrees, Webb was a paraprofessional for four years at Duncanville ISD before becoming a teacher and coach, earning the Above and Beyond Coaches Award. He then served at Midlothian ISD for two years before coming to GISD in 2010 as a secondary special education teacher. In 2011, he was named assistant principal at Gatesville High School. He became GHS principal in 2014.
In 2017, Webb was promoted to executive director of secondary curriculum. In 2019, he was promoted to assistant superintendent of academics.
"All the while he is a reliable bus driver," said GISD Superintendent Barrett Pollard. "Shane has been a steadfast helper and outstanding leader for GISD for 13 years."
Webb, whose wife Keegan is principal of Gatesville Elementary School, said he appreciates the opportunity he had in working for GISD,
"I want to thank you guys for the last 13 years at Gatesville," he said. "It's a place we were blessed to make home. I will take the things I've learned here and continue to do them. I appreciate the support you've provided me and my family."
