In a special meeting held Monday evening, the Borger Independent School District Board of Trustees announced Daniel Fuller as the lone finalist for the role of Superintendent. Fuller, who currently serves as Superintendent of Sweeny ISD, was selected from a pool of 17 applicants following a comprehensive and competitive search process.
After initial interviews with six candidates and follow-up interviews with three finalists, the Board unanimously agreed that Fuller’s leadership style, professional experience, and vision for education aligned strongly with the goals and values of Borger ISD.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Mr. Fuller as our finalist,” said a representative from the Board. “His passion for student success, deep-rooted experience in rural education, and commitment to community engagement truly stood out during the selection process.”
In a statement addressed to the Borger ISD community, Fuller expressed his enthusiasm and gratitude for the opportunity.
“I feel blessed and honored to be named the Lone Finalist as the next Superintendent of Borger ISD,” Fuller said. “My family and I are elated to be joining the best community and school district in the Texas Panhandle.”
Fuller brings with him over 17 years of experience in education, including a decade as a superintendent. Before entering administration, he taught high school mathematics, including courses such as Algebra I, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, and AP Statistics. He has spent much of his career in rural school districts, an experience he says has prepared him well for this new role.
His educational background includes 54 doctoral credit hours from Lamar University, a Master of Arts in Educational Leadership, and a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from the University of Texas – Permian Basin. He also holds an Associate of Science from South Plains College and is certified in Mathematics 8–12, as well as as a Principal and Superintendent.
Fuller and his wife, Kelly—his partner of 17 years—are parents to four children: Jocelyn (16), Makenzie (12), Kylie (10), and Carter (7). Born and raised in Midland, Fuller shared that he has a personal connection to the region, having spent time in the Texas Panhandle visiting family in Southwest Kansas.
“My hope is to lead with transparency, collaboration, consistency, and a 'power-with' mindset,” Fuller stated. “I want to build a culture where we believe together, achieve together, and succeed together. The Fuller Family is ready for the beginning of what we hope to be a long and prosperous journey with the Greater Borger Community.”
According to Texas law, a 21-day waiting period is required before a finalist can be officially appointed. If approved following this period, Fuller will assume the superintendent role this summer, succeeding current Superintendent Chance Welch, who will retire in June after 15 years of dedicated service to the district.
