We’re thrilled to announce the 2026 Region 11 Superintendent of the Year, Dr. Ricky Stephens of Keene ISD!

Since becoming superintendent in 2013, Dr. Stephens has led Keene ISD with vision, courage, and a deep commitment to students as “makers of learning.” Through initiatives such as the districtwide House System, the Keene 22 soft skills framework, and IGNITE, he has helped create a culture rooted in creativity, belonging, and real-world readiness.

The Keene ISD Board of Trustees shared that Dr. Stephens “does not just manage a school district; he inspires a community.”

Congratulations, Dr. Stephens, on this incredible and well-earned recognition!

What does it look like when a school district defines excellence by character rather than test scores? In Keene Independent School District, it looks like a community where "every child, every need, every day" isn't just a mission statement—it’s the daily architecture of the school.

Spanning just 4.2 square miles in Johnson County, Texas, Keene ISD has become a model for what happens when a district rejects the "forensic" use of high-stakes testing in favor of developing the "whole learner."

From their unique House System that ensures no student is invisible to their commitment to providing "Big School Opportunities in a Small School Environment," Keene is proving that small districts can have a massive impact. They aren't just teaching students; they are actively working to produce good humans.
