SNYDER, Texas —The Snyder Independent School District Board of Trustees has officially named Dr. Jessica Gore as Superintendent of Snyder ISD following the required 21-day waiting period after her selection as Lone Finalist.
With this appointment, Dr. Gore becomes the first female superintendent in the history of Snyder ISD.
An Abilene native, Dr. Gore joined Snyder ISD in April 2024 as Chief Academic Officer and has since served as Assistant Superintendent and Interim Superintendent. During her time with the district, she has worked closely with campus leaders and staff to strengthen academic systems, improve accountability practices, and support the development of teacher and leadership pipelines. Her leadership has also emphasized clear communication and strong collaboration with the Board of Trustees, staff, families, and the Snyder community.
Since stepping into the interim role, Dr. Gore has led with a focused entry plan centered on board alignment, uninterrupted district operations, instructional continuity, and meaningful opportunities for stakeholder voice through initiatives such as the Superintendent’s Student Advisory Committee and Community Advisory Council.
Dr. Gore and her husband moved to Snyder in 2024 and have quickly embraced the community as home. Her husband works for Energy Transfer, and their family attends First Baptist Church in Snyder. Their daughter is currently a Pre-Kindergarten student in Snyder ISD, and their young son is already looking forward to the day he can become a Snyder Tiger as well.
