Superintendent Search
On Oct. 19, 2021, Dr. Tom Leonard announced his intention to retire as Eanes ISD Superintendent. The board’s aim is to have the next superintendent in place prior to the beginning of the 2022-2023 school year. Information about the search process will be shared through parent emails, social media and the Eanes ISD website.
