The school year was promising to be momentous for Tulsa School of Arts and Sciences. The public charter school, which serves 300 students in grades nine through 12, relocated to a new home, a former Tulsa elementary school building. But on Sept. 5, 2012, fire ravaged TSAS, destroying the school. As director of TSAS, Doss has spearheaded the recovery in addition to his everyday responsibilities. Doss’ advice for others who wish to achieve success is to “do whatever it takes to get organized, stay curious and keep learning. Fight for what you believe in, but keep an open mind and be prepared for life to take unexpected turns.”
