| Brad Froebel Leads on Campus and at District Level |
|
Spring, TX. Mr. Brad Froebel serves as the Tiger Tribune newspaper and Legacy yearbook sponsor at Klein Collins High School. As the school’s first journalism teacher, he and his students have created a program that brings recognition to the school. He is also the chairperson of the Klein District Instructional Development Council (DIDC).

The Klein Collins newspaper staff will pilot an online newspaper later this fall. With up-to-date news stories, audio stories, and online videos, this paper will give students the opportunity to experience 21st century journalism in a high school setting.
Last spring, under Mr. Froebel’s leadership, the Klein Collins journalism team won the UIL 5-A championship for newspaper writing. Because of his success in UIL competitions, Mr. Froebel will teach a session at the Sam Houston State Student Activities Conference to train other teachers to be successful in UIL competitions.
After serving a year as his campus representative on the DIDC, Mr. Froebel was selected as its chairperson. Service on the DIDC has allowed Mr. Froebel to gain a new perspective of what happens in a school district that he could not have gained at the campus level.
Mr. Froebel is a graduate of Sam Houston State University. His initial plan was to become a photography major, earning a teacher certification for job security. When he realized that teaching was the right path for him, photography became important as a facet of journalism. He served for a semester as a full time substitute teacher in Brenham ISD before joining the Cypress Fairbanks ISD where he taught from 1999-2001.
At Klein Collins, his students have gained recognition for one of the top 25 yearbooks in Texas for three years. Their newspaper also receives high ratings.
The Klein ISD is located in north Harris County and has more than 43,527 students in its twenty-six (26) elementary, eight (8) intermediate, and four (4) high schools. Visit the district’s Web site at www.kleinisd.net for additional information about the Klein Independent School District.
