Mr. DuBois started his educational career as a substitute teacher in Dallas ISD, where he understood and accepted his calling to be an educator. This led to him becoming a Mathematics teacher of record at Seagoville Middle School.

Mr. DuBois recently led the campus of John Lewis Social Justice Academy at O.W. Holmes, as Principal and built a culture of unity and purpose for all students and staff.

Mr. DuBois is a fervent believer that all students must be seen, heard, and known and we as educators, are the mediators, who must provide them with equitable resources and access to be positive change agents for their communities and the world. His leadership is driven by the will to serve, sacrifice, and empower others to be better than they were before. He is thankful for those who have poured into his growth personally and professionally.
