He began his career in BISD as an assistant principal at Burleson High School and was also an academic assistant principal at Hughes Middle School, where his leadership and commitment to students and staff quickly set him apart. He holds a bachelor's degree from Texas Wesleyan University, where he was a four-year letterman in basketball and captain of the 2006 men's basketball national championship team. Schilder also earned a Master of Educational Leadership from the University of North Texas.

“Brad Schilder’s leadership, dedication to students, and experience in BISD make him the ideal leader for Kerr Middle School,” said BISD Superintendent Dr. Bret Jimerson. “We look forward to seeing his continued positive impact on students in BISD.”

“I would like to thank BISD leadership, Dr. Jimerson, and the BISD Board of Trustees for trusting me with this opportunity,” said Schilder. “I look forward to serving our students and families while working alongside our teachers and staff to strengthen our Kerr community.”
