Meet the Principal

John Graham

Principal John Graham

I became the proud principal of Golden High School in July 2023.

I have been an educator for over 22 years. Most recently, I held the position of assistant superintendent of campus activities and support at Leander Independent School District in Leander, Texas. Prior to that, I served as an area superintendent, high school principal, assistant principal and teacher in Leander ISD and Killeen (Texas) ISD.

My educational background includes a bachelor’s degree in history and a Master of Education, both from Tarleton State University in Texas. My unique experiences provide me with an understanding of how important teamwork and communication are for the ultimate success of a school and community.

I am a staunch advocate for students and seek to help them achieve to their highest potential. My goal is to provide students and staff with leadership and experience to enable everyone to pursue excellence. I plan to lead with compassion and kindness and help others reach their fullest potential while positively contributing to the world.

I will blend my energy, knowledge and professional skills to collaborate with and motivate others in transforming student learning to ensure all students will graduate college and career ready.

Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Melissa, and my two children, Seth and Sydney. I love hiking, fishing, photography and being outdoors. I also enjoy reading, movies, live music, eating sushi and Mexican food and supporting the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Rangers.

I look forward to the work we will engage in together as Demons as we continue to build on all the great things happening at GHS.
