TASA’s “Inspiring Leaders” tagline is not just a reminder of TASA’s commitment to leadership development; it describes our members themselves — school leaders who inspire others as they work to prepare future-ready students. Meet Brandon Enos, one of those Inspiring Leaders.
In summer 2025, Brandon Enos was named superintendent of Gunter ISD, after having served as superintendent in Cushing ISD for nearly four years. He was nominated as a TASA Inspiring Leader by one of his peers, a fellow North Texas superintendent, Chris Mason of Quitman ISD.
“Dr. Brandon Enos is a dedicated advocate for public education, committed to empowering students and supporting educators,” Mason says. “Known for his growth mindset and forward-thinking leadership, he is completing his national superintendent certification while continuing to shape impactful change in the field.”
Enos says that mentoring and collaboration with other superintendents has helped him to grow as an administrator and that partnership is an important component of strengthening Texas school districts as a whole.
“Sharing experiences, learning from one another, and building supportive professional relationships ultimately benefits students, staff, and the broader community,” he says.
Upon coming to Gunter, Enos has been impressed by the way the entire school district community comes together to support staff and students.
“At Gunter ISD, we strive to create an environment where everyone feels valued, encouraged, and empowered to succeed, and the genuine care people show for one another is inspiring every day.”
Having seen Enos’ leadership in action, Mason describes him as “a true change agent,” who “champions staff and student empowerment, fostering environments where leadership is shared, voices are valued, and potential is unlocked at every level.”
Serving in district leadership is a tall order at times, and Enos maintains his drive and dedication by remembering the students he serves and focusing on what’s best for them.
“I believe in students until they learn to believe in themselves,” he says. “I lead through action rather than words, showing up consistently to support, guide, and make a difference in real ways that impact lives.”
