to provide the best opportunities for all students in our great
district. It’s a great day to be a Sanger Indian! I also want
to thank all of the other candidates, they are great, which
makes winning that much more of an honor,” said Cody.

At the Sanger ISD
May 8, 2019 Special
Board Meeting, Lone
Finalist for the posi-
tion of Sanger ISD
Superintendent was
announced.
After interview-
ing five candidates, r
the Board has named
Dr. Tommy Hunter as
the Lone Finalist for
Superintendent of the
Sanger Independent
School District.
The District re-
ceived over 90 appli-
cations for the position
and after a thorough
review; the board in-
terviewed five candi-
dates in the first round.
The second round of interviews brought two candidates
back to Sanger with Dr. Hunter rising to the top.
Dr. Hunter’s passion for student success and best in-
terest was a theme the board heard consistently in the in-
terview process as well as on a site visit to Brownsboro
ISD. Dr. Hunter has 24 years’ experience as an educator
with 11 years as Superintendent; the last three have been in
Brownsboro ISD.
Dr. Hunter graduated from Gunter High School. He’s
worked at Tioga ISD for 13 years as a teacher, coach and
campus principal and Superintendent at Walnut Bend
ISD, north of Gainesville, for 4 years. He was also Su-
perintendent at S&S Consolidated ISD for 4 years before
Brownsboro.
“I have been a Superintendent at districts with 100 stu-
dents to 2,800 in Walnut Bend and Brownsboro, respec-
tively. With the exception of 3 years, my entire life and ca-
reer has been in the North Texas area. My wife and I are
excited about returning to our home area,” Hunter said.
“I look forward to becoming a part of Sanger ISD and
the community of Sanger. Sanger ISD has a rich tradition
of excellence were student’s success and educational op-
portunities are a priority for the children they serve. As the
new superintendent, I will look to continue these great suc-
cesses, while creating a positive, safe learning environment
for both students and staff.”
His philosophy of education: All teachers and admin-
istrators should provide the most comprehensive educa-
tion for each student in an environment that supports stu-
dent achievement. Climate and relationships are the two
most important attributes to learning. Educational setting
should have an environment, which allows the teacher to
act as a guide, allows for student achievement, and pro-
motes future ready skills such as collaboration, creativity,
