The Humble ISD Board of Trustees named Dr. Roger Brown as Superintendent of Schools during a special School Board meeting on Jan 8, 2025. Dr. Brown has been serving as Acting Superintendent since May 14, 2024, and as Interim Superintendent since Nov. 26, 2024. He has been an administrator in Humble ISD for 10 years and has more than four decades of experience in public education. Dr Brown accepted a contract through June 30, 2028.
“This position as Superintendent, it's not an ‘I’ position. It's not me,” Superintendent Dr. Brown said. “The success that is achieved in this district is a collective work of all of us in this community, on this board, out there, this team. That’s what the beauty is I think about being Superintendent in Humble ISD is that it is a team effort. It is not an ‘I’; it is a team. That’s why this district is so successful.”
School Board President Chris Parker said Dr. Brown was chosen for his extensive experience in education, genuine care for the community, and exemplifying collaborative leadership.
“Dr. Brown truly stands out as a leader who embodies character, vision and action,” Mrs. Parker said. “As Superintendent he will instill trust, inspire confidence, and bring a renewed sense of shared purpose for the benefit of our students”
Dr. Brown’s educational career began in 1984 as a high school history teacher in Oklahoma, where he advanced through multiple roles including assistant principal, middle school principal, director of secondary education and assistant superintendent. After raising their family, Dr. Brown and his wife wanted to live closer to their adult children and grandchildren in Texas. That opportunity arose in 2014 when former Humble ISD Superintendent Dr. Guy Sconzo chose Dr. Brown to be Humble ISD’s Associate Superintendent for Support Services. In this capacity, Dr. Brown oversaw facilities construction, child nutrition services, school bus services and building maintenance. Three years later, he was promoted to Deputy Superintendent.
“He comes with a wealth of experience in education,” Mrs. Parker said. “Second, he genuinely cares about our community. And third, he exemplifies collaborative leadership with over 40 years in education.”
Beyond his administrative role, Dr. Brown actively participates in local organizations, serving as President of Lake Houston Rotary, a member of the Northeast Hospital Authority Board and on the Partnership Lake Houston Executive Board.
Dr. Brown earned his bachelor’s and master’s degree at the University of Oklahoma and his doctor of educational leadership at Nova Southeastern University. His awards include Teacher of the Year for Moore Central Mid-High, Highland East Junior High Administrator of the Year, PTA Putnam City Administrator of the Year, and State PTA School Administrator of the Year in Oklahoma.
Dr. Brown and his wife Lonia, a retired school counselor and elementary principal, have been married for 43 years. They have three adult children, six grandchildren, and are expecting their seventh grandchild in February. Four of their grandchildren are current Humble ISD students.
“For me, being Superintendent, it's not about managing schools. It's really about serving,” Dr. Brown said. “That's what I've tried to do my whole career. I think my dad taught me that - so it's about service. I want to serve our students, our staff, our families. I want to continue that tradition that we have here.”
