Ball High School Has A New Principal For The 2008-2009 School Year

Blair to lead Ball High School


Published June 27, 2008

GALVESTON — The assistant principal at Angleton High School has been hired to lead Ball High School next year.

William Dean Blair, a high school principal for 12 years, has experience in boosting state standardized test scores. Every campus where he’s worked as an administrator has earned a recognized or exemplary rating by the Texas Education Agency.

“I am truly looking forward to this experience,” Blair told Galveston public school district trustees Wednesday night.

“I look forward to this challenge. If I didn’t think I could make a difference, I wouldn’t be here.”

Blair was picked by a committee from a pool of candidates and then interviewed by Superintendent Lynne Cleveland who recommended him to the board.

Beau Rawlins, a member of the search committee and sometimes critic of the district, praised the transparency of the principal search.

“We need to support this principal in every possible (way) from the start,” he said. “We need to put our differences behind us, move on and support your decision 100 percent.”

Blair replaces Sandra Chapa, who stepped down after two years as principal.

Blair, born and raised in Odessa, earned a bachelor’s degree in health/physical education from Texas A&M University in 1980 and his master’s degree from Texas Southern University in 1990.

He has taught math and coached at La Marque, Freeport and Brazosport before moving to Angleton.
