Being that I currently serve as a high school principal, my next goal is to move up to central administration. I have only served as campus principal for two years; therefore, I am not in a rush to move to central administration. I believe the next step for me is to become an assistant superintendent or human resource director. My ultimate goal of course is to be a superintendent and hopefully from there become a college professor. I do have plans to attend school and receive my doctorate. When I was a child, I use to tell everyone that I am “Trapper John M.D” from the television show. People have called me that name since a child and I look to that day where I have a name plate that says Travis Young and underneath it in quotations, but instead Trapper John E.D. I feel that is only fitting!
I do have a major concern that my immediate and extended family are all part of my school community. The reason is because there could be times where someone in the community might express something that is inaccurate or hurtful regarding me. I don’t want my family to retaliate towards that person and of course, that might not be an easy thing to do. However, it is has worked this far for me as a high school administrator and I appreciate my family understanding that we must be professionals and respectful at all times by doing what is right. It has been beneficial to serve as an administrator in the same district that I grew up in. I have had the opportunity to reunite with family and friends as their child come through the high school. I am looking for the day I can say that I am a superintendent and for now, will continue to work to reach that ultimate goal.
