Dr. Houston Barber was previously the principal at Fern Creek High School from 2007 through 2013 and is credited for greatly improving the struggling school. Under Barber’s tenure Fern Creek had the highest standardized test gains of any high school in Jefferson County — its percentile skyrocketed from 26 to 60. Graduation and college/career readiness rates at Fern Creek also experienced significant improvements under Barber’s leadership.
Barber is a 1994 graduate of Frankfort High and was a Class-A state champion in cross country. He also won the state’s 800, 1,600 and 3,200-meter runs. Barber ran track for Marquette University in Wisconsin and was considered an Olympic hopeful.
Barber was hired in late July 2015 as Superintendent of the Frankfort Independent Schools.
