Description

Larry Powell was elected to two terms as Superintendent of Fresno County Schools and served 43 years in education.  He loves inspiring others and has served on many non-profit boards and is a Member of the Board of Trustees for Fresno Pacific University and also is a member of the National Advisory Board for Rachel’s Challenge, the premier anti-bullying program in America. He was the Chair of California’s School Fiscal Crisis Management Assistance Team Board (FCMAT) during the height of the fiscal crisis in California.

Among his awards are: 2003 Superintendent of the Year; 2007 “Top Dog” as an Outstanding Alumni of CSUF, Kremen School of Education and Human Development; 2010 Distinguished Citizen Award; 2011 Horizon Award for his work in promoting “The Arts.”  He was also selected as one of twenty Americans of the Year by Esquire Magazine for 2011 and appeared in the December 2011 Issue.  In 2012 “Humanitarian of the Year.”

Struck with Polio at the age of 15 months in 1949, Larry is an inspiration to everyone he meets. He was a champion wrestler and coach, an avid golfer with a 5 handicap, a swimmer and gymnast. His bench press record is 320 pounds when he weighed only 129 pounds.

He strongly believes that the only things you cannot do are the things you do not attempt. Hard work and determination lead to success. His wife, Dot, is a retired Elementary Principal and a writer of 2 Children’s Books and author of The Sunday Van Club: Where a Faith Journey Leads.

Most people have never seen Larry without a smile. Larry has made equity and access a hallmark of his career and is passionate about his faith and family, “The Arts,” and Rachel’s Challenge.

Larry has two radio shows on KXEX: “Good News with Larry Powell” and “Powell to the People” (Where Civility is Always in Style) also available as podcasts on Spotify. He is a Political Analyst for two Fresno Television Stations, NBC 24 and CBS 47.
