07/01/2020 05:51:18 PMDarryl Henson, a graduate of the University of Houston College of Education, has spent much of his career helping struggling schools improve. He’s continuing that work under the spotlight as the new superintendent of the Marlin Independent School District, a rural district outside of Waco that’s at risk of closure due its history of low test scores. Henson’s focus: the students. “I want to give every student a chance to succeed in life,” said Henson, who earned a doctorate in professional leadership, with a K – 12 specialization, from the College in 2014. “We, as educators, have the power to change the trajectory of every student’s life and prepare them for the future.”
