At their regular board meeting, the Birdville ISD Board of Trustees approved the appointment of Joseph W.

Most recently, he served as associate superintendent of human resources and administrative services for Forney ISD.

 

He received his bachelor's degree from Sam Houston State University in 1986 and his master's degree from Sam Houston State University in 1995. He holds a mid-management certification and is currently pursuing his superintendent certification at the University of Texas in Tyler.

 

Simmons began his career in 1986 as a teacher in Temple ISD. He then moved to Burnet ISD where he worked five years, first as an assistant principal and then principal. Simmons served in Williamsville, NY as assistant principal from 1997-99 at Williamsville North High School and as principal at Williamsville South High School from 1999-2008.
