School Board Trustee Profile - Darrell Sneed
What would be the perfect afternoon for you?
A perfect afternoon for me would be watching the Dallas
Cowboys destroy their opponent.
Who was your role model as a kid? Why?
My grandmother was my role model because of her
strong faith and humility. She demonstrated unconditional
love for family and strangers alike.
Give us a brief bio of your career.
What schools did you attend?
I grew up in Houston. Then, I attended the University of
Texas at El Paso where I received a Bachelor of Science
in Education. I later attended the University of North
Texas and received a master’s degree in public school
administration.
What is one quote that has become your life’s motto?
“I can do all things through Christ who gives me
strength.”
I served as a classroom teacher and coach for seven years
in San Antonio and Birdville ISD. The next 27 years, I
served in various roles in administration. It was never
about titles, but about helping students see their potential.
What makes you so passionate about Mansfield ISD?
I love Mansfield ISD for a number of reasons. I was
blessed to work with some great educators like Vernon
Newsom, Claude Cunningham, Judy Miller, Debbie
Stevenson, Christie Alfred and so many more.
Also, my three kids attended and graduated from
Mansfield ISD. It’s hard to find a district more supportive
and committed to providing students with a quality life
experience in the school system. There are great parents
in every corner of the district.
Darrell Sneed enjoys spending time with his wife, who also works for Mansfield ISD, and his three children.
