Dr. Brad Lancaster is the District’s Superintendent of Schools. 

Dr. Lancaster is credited with bringing MISD from a Texas Education Agency (TEA) Acceptable rating to Recognized—falling short only three points from Exemplary in 2010.  Additionally, Midway garnered state championships in volleyball (2007-08), girls’ basketball (2008-09) and softball (2009-10), as well as state gold medals in tennis (2010 and 2011), swimming (2010 and 2011), and track and field (2011).  Collectively, the District’s successful academic, fine arts and athletics programs have placed Midway High School in the UIL’s Lone Star Cup top 10 schools in Texas for four straight years, placing second twice.  MISD was also recognized as one of six state finalists for the HEB Excellence in Education Awards last spring.

A former teacher, assistant principal, principal, executive director for curriculum, and assistant superintendent in the College Station, Ennis, and Allen school districts, Dr. Lancaster earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Secondary Education from Baylor University as well as Master of Science in Educational Administration and Doctorate of Education degrees from Texas A&M University in College Station.  He currently serves on the TEA Commissioner’s Cabinet of Superintendents, the Fast Growth Schools Coalition, and the Texas Association of School Administrators’ Legislative Services Committee, among others.  Dr. Lancaster and his wife Karen have two children, Julia and Will.
