The Weatherford ISD Board of Trustees unanimously approved Dr. Doug Funk as the new principal at Weatherford High School at their Special Board meeting held on June 29, 2017.

WISD Superintendent Dr. Jeffrey Hanks said, “Dr. Funk has a wealth of knowledge and experiences that will complement the strengths of the high school campus. I am impressed with his commitment to providing world-class experiences for our kids and his desire to build upon the legacy of Weatherford High School. All you need is one conversation with him and you know he already bleeds Roo blue.”
