David Smith Selected as Career Technology Dean for LSC-North Harris

David Smith, who has served Lone Star College-North Harris in various capacities since 2005, was recently named the dean of the Career Technology Division for the college. Smith was previously interim dean for the division, and has also served as interim dean of the Business, Social and Behavioral Sciences Division.

“For the past five years Dave’s talents and leadership abilities have been a great asset for LSC-North Harris. He has spent most of the last year serving as an interim dean for different divisions within the college, so there is no question that he will excel in his new, permanent position,” said Gary Clark, vice president for instruction at LSC-North Harris.

Smith has also served LSC-North Harris as an adjunct professor, manager of the teacher certification program, and chair of the business, paralegal and education department.

Prior to joining LSC-North Harris, Smith spent more than 20 years in the Sheldon Independent School District, first as a teacher and coach, and working his way up to a six-year stint as principal of Sheldon Intermediate School. Smith also served as coordinator of facilities and maintenance for the district for a year.

“Working at LSC-North Harris has been a wonderful experience. It is absolutely the best place I’ve worked, and I only wish I had discovered it sooner,” said Smith. “I am looking forward to helping continue the college’s track record as one of the top community colleges in the state and the country.”

In his spare time, Smith enjoys hiking and taking desert photography in the Southwestern United States.
