🎭🎨 Welcome to the Mustang Family, Mr. Travis Driver! 🎨🎭

Overton ISD is excited to welcome Travis Driver as our new Theater and Art Teacher for the 2026–2027 school year!

Mr. Driver is an East Texas native who began his educational journey right here at Overton ISD before later graduating from West Rusk High School. A man of many talents, he brings a unique blend of artistic creativity, technical skill, and instructional experience to our district.

With a background in the building trades and welding, Mr. Driver most recently taught Ag Mechanics at Henderson ISD. However, his lifelong passion has always been the arts. An artist, maker, and teacher, he has dreamed since childhood of turning that passion into a full-time career through education.

Mr. Driver has served on the board of the Henderson Civic Theatre since 2004, where he directs a major production annually and contributes extensively to set design and construction, lighting, sound, facilities support, and stage production. He also works with a local Shakespeare performance group and brings experience in set design, lighting and light board operation, sound design, costume design and construction, props, and stage makeup.

We are thrilled to have Mr. Driver joining Overton ISD, where he will teach both Art and Theater while leading our One Act Play program.

💚🤍Please join us in giving Mr. Driver a warm Mustang welcome! 💚🤍
