PRESS RELEASE

The former head of Oiler Nation is taking the reins as Pearland Independent School District’s director of maintenance, operations and facilities.

The board of trustees promoted Larry Berger, Pearland High School’s principal since 2009, to head of the Maintenance and Operations Department, effective July 5.

Berger replaces longtime director David Holland, who recently retired.

“Nothing happens without a great maintenance and facilities department. They are the unsung workers who serve success every day, and I look forward to working with this great team,” Berger said.

While the district searches for the most qualified candidate to lead PHS, assistant principal Audie Johnson will serve as interim principal of the campus.

Berger holds a history of professional achievements. A two-time winner of the district’s Secondary Principal of the Year Award, he won the statewide H-E-B Excellence in Education Secondary Principal Award in 2015.

As the former principal of a 6A high school, he has worked closely with maintenance administration and staff on several projects.

He looks forward to continuing a customer service mindset in this department that supports the entire district.

“My passion for student success is my driving force. The job is not done until all students are served in a way that supports safety, security and the best facilities. We will work effectively and efficiently to ensure Pearland ISD continues to be a world-class district,” Berger said.
