Herb Stephens, who had a 36-year tenure in Fort Worth ISD, died on Thursday. He was 72.
Stephens became an assistant athletic director for the school district in 2000, and was promoted to athletic director in 2005. He served in that capacity until retiring in 2010.
The Fort Worth athletic complex, home of Wilkerson-Greines Activity Center, Clark Stadium and Goldstein Field, was re-named the “Herb Stephens Jr. Athletic Complex” following his retirement.
Stephens started off his Fort Worth ISD career as a physical education teacher and coach at Rosemont Middle School, and also worked at Paschal High School.
