The Alvin ISD Board of Trustees has named Dr. Rhonda Mason as the lone finalist to serve as the district’s next superintendent, leading more than 30,000 students across 36 schools.
Mason is currently serving as area superintendent of Lamar CISD. She previously held the roles of assistant superintendent, Executive Director of Elementary and Secondary Schools, Executive Director of Early Childhood and School Improvement, and elementary principal in Fort Bend ISD, campus principal in Spring ISD, and assistant principal in Houston ISD.
In total, Mason brings more than 20 years of experience in public education. With a leadership background and experience across multiple districts, Trustees voted to name Mason as the lone finalist following a superintendent search process that included opportunities for stakeholder input, including a community survey that helped shape the leadership profile for the district’s next superintendent.
Through the superintendent search survey, families, staff, and community members emphasized the importance of strong support for educators, responsible financial stewardship, and clear communication. The Board extends its sincere appreciation to the many individuals who participated and shared thoughtful input throughout the process.
State law requires a 21-day waiting period before the Board may vote to finalize a superintendent contract. The Board will vote on the contract on May 13.
Mason was named lone finalist following the retirement announcement of Carol Nelson, who has served as the superintendent of Alvin ISD since 2019.
