Abstract | This article profiles Terry Grier, the new superintendent of Houston Independent School District. Grier, who began his career as a teacher and a coach in North Carolina, has run nine school districts in six states over the last 25 years. His allies and critics agree on one thing: Grier pushes change at lightning speed. That's the main reason the Houston school board recruited him from the San Diego Unified School District. After his appointment, Grier moved quickly to improve teacher quality and student performance. One of his early successes was a $4 million initiative that placed a lab--with laptops, credit-recovery software, and specially hired graduation coaches--in the district's 27 comprehensive high schools.
