Morgan has been an administrator in Lindbergh Schools since 2006 and most recently served as assistant principal of Truman Elementary and Truman Middle, following the school’s transition in 2011.

Before coming to Lindbergh, Morgan taught special education for 12 years. He earned his bachelor and master of science degrees in education from Central Missouri State University and his doctor of education from St. Louis University.
