Dr. Bonnie Avey

I was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and graduated from The Colony High School in the North Dallas Area.  I attended Texas Tech and earned a B.B.A. in Accounting. I immediately went to work in the business sector.  I worked as a business and financial analyst and as a business owner for several years.   After having my first two children, Hailey and Hayden, I was called into the field of education, so I completed my Master’s in Educational Administration with an emphasis in Secondary Education from Lubbock Christian University.  I began my teaching career in Roosevelt ISD and moved to Lubbock ISD where I taught for five years before moving to an Assistant Principal role.  After three years, I shifted to a Principal position at Parsons Elementary where I served for nine years.  During that time, I completed my Ph. D. in Curriculum and Instruction from Texas Tech University in 2015.  In 2019, I married the love of my life, Mike Avey, and we were blessed to have the new joy of our lives, our now two-year-old little boy, Quinn.  Just prior to having Quinn, I shifted roles and worked as an Assistant Principal at Mackenzie Middle School.  I have currently been serving as the Superintendent of Seagraves since April 2023 and I have loved being a part of this outstanding community.  As an educator, it is my mission to see that every student receives the highest quality education possible. I will continue to work with our staff and students to achieve the highest levels of growth for every child. My focus is to assist teachers and administrators as they prepare students for college and career readiness, while at the same time guiding students to become more responsible and well-rounded citizens in our community. It is a pure joy to see the successes of each child and watch them grow in all aspects of their lives.  It is with great honor to serve as the Superintendent of Seagraves ISD.
