Welcome to Millsap ISD!  What an honor it is to serve the Bulldogs alongside of you.  Millsap is a special place where relationships are central, character is upheld, and students are the focus of our work. I have served Millsap ISD for the last 5 years as the Assistant Superintendent and I am honored to have this opportunity to continue the work as the new MISD Superintendent. What a true blessing to be able to contribute in this capacity and have the opportunity to make a positive impact.  I look forward to meeting each of you in person but until then, below is just a little about myself!

My Family: I grew up in Parker County as the only child of Bill and Edith Robinson.  Throughout their almost 60 years of marriage, my parents have always been upstanding examples of how to create a loving home. While at Texas Tech, I met my husband, Clay Martin.  We have been married almost 26 years and have been blessed with two children, Grant and Mackenzie.  Mackenzie graduated from Millsap High School in 2021 and will be attending Weatherford College in the Fall.  Grant, 22, attended a trade school and is currently living in the metroplex and working at Bell Helicopter.

My Educational Background: The 2021-2022 school year will be my 27^th year in education.  After growing up in Parker County, I attended Weatherford College then graduated from Texas Tech University.  My educational career started in west Texas teaching secondary math and serving as a girls’ basketball and softball coach. During my career, I have served in various leadership capacities including principal at both the elementary and high school levels.  I am a committed lifetime learner (aka I like school!).  I earned my Master of Education from Tarleton State University and am currently working on my Doctor of Educational Administration at Dallas Baptist University.

Being a mom, I know your child(ren) are your most prized possession.  Thank you for allowing your child(ren) to attend Millsap ISD where our mission is to inspire, develop, and educate every student in a safe environment.  In Millsap ISD you can be assured that educators love the students and are dedicated to the development of the whole child.  I am proud to be a Millsap Bulldog and I know you will be proud as well!

Mr. Dale Latham has served in many roles, supported many districts, and now feels that he has come home.  Most recently, he served as a Field Service Agent, at Education Service Center Region 11, in Fort Worth.  Now, he gets to focus all of his attention on continuing our relentless pursuit of being the Premier educational organization. 

Mr. Latham has been married to his lovely bride, Becky, for over 30 years.  She recently retired as a high school English teacher at Granbury ISD. She was named the GISD Secondary Teacher of the Year in 2018, and the following year honored with the Jack Harvey Academy of Exemplary Teachers award.  The Lathams have two grown children, Tyler and Kaeti.  Tyler and his wife Victoria, both in law enforcement, and graduates of University of North Texas.  Mr. Latham's youngest, Kaeti, is a 2020 graduate of Tarleton State University, earning her Bachelor in Nursing degree, and works as an Oncology med/surg Nurse, at UT Southwestern in Dallas.

With over 30 years’ experience in education, Mr. Latham holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Agricultural Education, from Tarleton State University, and a Masters of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies degree, from the University of Texas at Arlington.
