LEAGUE CITY, Texas—Dr. Fred Hayes, principal of Clear Creek High School, has been named Region IV Principal of the Year. He is the first Clear Creek High principal to win this award.

Hayes is now in the running for Principal of the Year for the state of Texas. This is the end of Hayes’ second year at CCHS, which is one of the largest high schools in the state of Texas.

Hayes attended Baylor University where he earned his Ed.D. in Educational Administration and earned both his master’s degree and bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Tyler. He served as principal for two other Texas high schools before moving to CCHS.

“When I came to Creek, it was already a great school,” Hayes said. “Now we just have some added improvements that make it even better. There is still a lot to work on and to do, but we are definitely on the right track for something good.”

During the next two years, Hayes will be leading his campus through two extreme changes including the rebuild of the educational wings of the campus and a transition to Smaller Learning Communities.

“Knowing what we are doing here at school is important to the country's foundation. I could have chosen to be a doctor, a lawyer or anything else I wanted to be,” Hayes said. “I chose this because this is where the difference is made.”
