  • Mr. Babafemi Ojo

    Dedicated Educator | U.S. Military Veteran | Champion for Student Success

    I’m honored to serve the George Ranch High School family for the past six years. With 35 years in education, my mission is to make a positive impact on every student—academically and in life. Over the years, I’ve worked as a teacher, instructional leader, and administrator, always focused on building strong relationships and fostering resilience.

    At George Ranch, I strive to lead with energy, encouragement, and integrity, creating an environment where students feel valued and empowered to reach their full potential.

    Beyond school, I’m a devoted husband, proud father of two LCISD graduates, and an honored U.S. military veteran. Nothing matters more to me than time with my family, and I love the soulful sounds of Gospel and Jazz. I believe that faith, positivity, and perseverance can transform lives—and I aim to model those values every day.

    "Success is not final; failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." — Winston Churchill
