LISD Locks In Guillermo Pro as Permanent Superintendent, Marking a New Chapter for Laredo Schools
Here’s a big education story coming out of Laredo that’s been getting a lot of attention. The Laredo Independent School District has officially wrapped up its search for a new superintendent, and the decision has now been made permanent. Guillermo Pro, who had been serving as interim superintendent since the summer, has been selected by the LISD school board to lead the district full time.
For Pro, this moment has been described as both deeply personal and professionally meaningful. After decades of working within the district, the role was not just accepted as a career milestone, but embraced as a family achievement as well. It was shared that being named superintendent right around the holidays felt like the greatest Christmas gift possible, and the moment was framed not as an individual win, but as a victory for his family and the entire LISD community.

Pro is no stranger to Laredo ISD. His journey through the district has included time as principal of Martin High School, where a major turnaround was led under his leadership. The campus moved from a struggling accountability status to a state-recognized rating, earning multiple academic distinctions along the way. Later, as the district’s director of fine arts, student participation was expanded dramatically, with thousands more students becoming involved and more earning regional and state honors.
Now, with the interim label removed, Pro has made it clear that his vision remains steady. Momentum that has already been built is expected to be carried forward, with strong emphasis placed on community partnerships and public support. It has been expressed that the backing from families, organizations, and local partners has been overwhelming, and that support is expected to grow even more in the months ahead.
At the heart of every decision, Pro has said, is student success. Even when tough choices are required, those decisions are guided by what will ultimately benefit students across the district. While the excitement of the appointment is real, it has been acknowledged that it pales in comparison to the long-term outcomes being pursued for children in Laredo.
Collaboration has also been highlighted as a key factor moving forward. Progress, according to Pro, is not driven by one person or one office, but by a collective effort involving administrators, teachers, support staff, and the wider LISD family. That teamwork is expected to strengthen year after year.
With a long-term vision centered on growth, unity, and achievement, Guillermo Pro now begins his tenure as Laredo ISD’s permanent superintendent, setting the stage for what district leaders hope will be an even stronger future for Laredo’s students.
