Bryan Frazier Named OASA District 6 Superintendent of the Year
The Why Behind the Work: Bryan Frazier Named District 6 Superintendent of the Year
For Bryan Frazier, leadership has never been about titles, recognition, or standing behind a podium. It has always been about people.
It is about the student who needs someone to believe in them before they believe in themselves. It is about the teacher who stays late to help a struggling learner. It is about building a school system rooted in trust, relationships, and purpose. And it is about ensuring every decision ultimately points back to what is best for students.
That philosophy is one reason Frazier has been named the 2026 Oklahoma Association of School Administrators (OASA) District 6 Superintendent of the Year, an honor recognizing exceptional leadership, service to public education, and contributions to educational advancement across Oklahoma.
Now in his ninth year leading, Frazier has guided the district through some of the most challenging and defining moments in modern education. From navigating a statewide teacher walkout and leading through the COVID-19 pandemic to overseeing curriculum reform, and the district’s largest bond preparation effort, his leadership has consistently focused on maintaining stability while continuing to move the district forward.
But those who know Frazier best say the story is bigger than the challenges he has managed. It is about the culture he has helped create.
Under his leadership, CPS established five district core values: Grit, Community, Excellence, Purpose, and Innovation. Those values are not simply branding statements placed on banners or websites. They shape district decision-making, program development, staff expectations, and student support systems across every school site.
The district’s current annual theme, “Win the Day,” reflects a philosophy that meaningful change is not built through one major moment, but through consistent, intentional effort every single day.
“Public schools are one of the most important institutions in our communities, and this recognition reflects the work of an entire district, not just one individual,” Frazier said. “I am incredibly grateful for our students, staff, families, Board of Education, and community partners who continue to believe in the mission of public education and the work we do together every day.”
