Rodriguez comes to Lubbock ISD from Carroll High School in Corpus Christi, where he was serving as the head football coach. His high school coaching experience began in 1999 as a defensive coordinator at Flour Bluff High School. Rodriguez has also made stops in Mathis ISD, Galena Park ISD, and Victoria ISD. He earned his bachelor’s degree in exercise sport science from Southwest Texas State University and master’s degrees in secondary education and educational administration from Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi. Rodriguez and his wife, Lisa, have two children: Matthew and Olivia. Misty Rieber is the new Chief Academic Officer for Lubbock ISD.

In her 27 years with Lubbock ISD, she has also been a teacher, assistant principal, social studies coordinator, and leadership and professional development coordinator. She is replacing Associate Superintendent Doyle Vogler, who is retiring from Lubbock ISD in June. Rieber earned her bachelor’s degree in history and education from Texas Tech University and her master’s degree in educational administration from Lubbock Christian University.

I recently got accepted into a program at Johns Hopkins, and I’m happy to share that I accepted the offer and am ready to venture to a new state and live out God’s plan. I will always embrace the motto: when ambition meets opportunity, anything is possible. I am also applying to do a research presentation to attend a conference in Puerto Rico in October! Truly, I seek out research and internship opportunities because I know they will allow me to become a better student, researcher, and leader. I also do it to establish a path and encourage others to never fear aiming so high. I now go into the future, praying for patience and discipline in moments of difficulty— in school, research, health, friendship. Although the unknown future is scary, it may be a more frightful thing for me to surrender rather than persevere against the storm!
