Superintendent Travis Gates

I was born and raised in Tecumseh, Oklahoma and am also a proud 1991 graduate of Tecumseh High School.  I received my Associates degree from Seminole Junior College and Bachelor’s degree from East Central University, where I also received a Master’s Degree.  I started my educational career in 1997 in Maud Public Schools where I served for six years as both a classroom teacher and coach.  I then moved on to McLoud Public Schools where I served for the next seven years as both a classroom teacher and coach.  I started my administrative career at Sulphur Public Schools where I served as the Early Childhood Principal for one year.  My next stop was in Crooked Oak Public Schools where I served for three years as the Middle School Principal and District Athletic Director. I then served as Superintendent of White Rock Public School for 2 years.  In 2016 I was honored as the OASA (Oklahoma Association of School Administrators) District 8 Superintendent of the Year. I am currently in my 7th year as Superintendent of Snyder Public Schools. I also serve on the Kiowa County Board of Health.

I am extremely honored and blessed to have the opportunity to serve and lead such a tremendous school district as Snyder Public Schools.
