Vicki Adams graduated from the University of Nebraska in 1981 before moving to Texas to coach and teach with her spouse who is a fellow educator. During her 37 years in education, she completed her master’s in counseling from Sam Houston State University and later furthered her education in administration at Stephen F. Austin.

She served as superintendent of Hillsboro ISD for 7 years after serving in that capacity for 7 years in Palacios ISD.
Being selected during the 2013-2014 school year as one of 30 superintendents from Texas to participate in the Future Ready Leadership Institute was not only a great honor but also gave Vicki the opportunity to collaborate with other superintendents who were passionate about developing vision-driven instruction. Vicki served as an executive committee member for organizations such as the Texas Association of School Administrators, the Region 3 Superintendent Study Group, the Equity Center, Texas Rural Education Association, and our organization, Texas Association of Community Schools. She has presented to many superintendent groups such as TASA First Time Superintendents and has assisted in the state-wide transformation of schools into the 21st Century. These transformation efforts include recognizing the strengths of the whole learner rather than just how well a student can take a test and the development of community-based accountability systems.
