Forsan superintendent Johnson retiring at end of school year

Randy Johnson, superintendent of schools for Forsan ISD, has notified the FISD School Board of his intention to retire after the 2021-2022 school year. Mr. Johnson has served as the superintendent for 18 years. Before accepting the role of superintendent, he served as the principal of Forsan Elementary at Elbow for two years. He served as a secondary teacher, coach, counselor, assistant principal, and principal prior to arriving in Forsan with stints in Dalhart ISD and Monahans-WickettPyote ISD during his 36 year career in education.

“I'm giving up the best job anyone could hope for. I'll miss the energy that comes from students. I'll miss the camaraderie that comes from working with really good people in a challenging career. But, Forsan ISD has excellent leadership and will continue to excel and improve.” Randy Johnson
