Explore transformative insights from a celebrated educational leader.

In Superintendent-Wise, Michael Hinojosa, the acclaimed former superintendent of the Dallas Independent School District, shares invaluable lessons for education leaders in establishing systems that prioritize students′ health, well-being, and academic success. This engaging and essential guide introduces the Success Triangle—a framework leaders can use to develop essential relationships and effectively manage their time.

The book offers actionable strategies for school leaders to collaborate with school boards, recognize and foster excellence among staff, strengthen community relations, build relationships with the media, and implement proven turnaround strategies for struggling schools. Additional features include:

  • "Big Idea" bullet lists capturing each chapter’s main takeaways
  • "Reflect and Act" exercises that support the implementation of strategies
  • Quick and practical "Pro Tips" drawn from the author’s extensive experience

Dr. Hinojosa’s decades of experience, pragmatic advice, and unique ability to cut through the noise offer crucial support for both new and current leaders, particularly in urban districts and high-needs communities.

Dr. Michael Hinojosa served more than twenty-seven years as a superintendent/ CEO of six public education systems, including two of the twenty-five largest school systems in the United States, Dallas Independent School District in Texas and the Cobb County School District in suburban Atlanta, Georgia. His career in public education, from teacher and coach to superintendent, spans more than four decades. He retired from the Dallas ISD in June 2022 after a long career in public education. With a firm belief that education and not environment is the key to a student’s success, he has led several school districts to improved student achievement. Dr. Hinojosa’s recognitions include being named 2002 Superintendent of the Year by the Texas Association of School Boards and 2005 Superintendent of the Year by the University of Texas at Austin. He was honored as Distinguished Alumnus by the College of Education at Texas Tech University and as the Outstanding Latino Educator by the Association of Latino Administrators and Superintendents in 2014. In 2019, D Magazine named Dr. Hinojosa the “Best Public Official” in Dallas. The Council of the Great City Schools awarded him the Green-Garner Award, the highest honor in urban education, as the 2020 Urban Educator of the Year. Dr. Hinojosa is a recipient of the CoSN (Consortium for School Networking) and AASA (American Association of School Administrators) 2021 EmpowerED Digital Superintendent Award. In 2022 he received the Champion of Science and Medicine from the Dallas County Medical Society. He is also a past president of the Texas Association of School Administrators. He currently serves as Superintendent in Residence for both the Council of the Great City Schools and the Texas Urban Council. Dr. Hinojosa, a proud graduate of Dallas ISD, holds a doctorate in education from the University of Texas at Austin. He has three sons, graduates of Texas Tech University, Harvard University, and Princeton University. All three attended Dallas ISD for a significant portion of their K–12 careers.
