Dr. Wayne Frazier
Since 2016, Dr. Wayne Frazier has served on the RCBOE and has been an advocate for the students and teachers of Richmond County. Born 1 of 11 children in Louisiana, Dr. Frazier served in the Army, taught school, and served as a school administrator. When asked about his experiences as a student, Dr. Frazier shared a story about his high school principal, Mr. Albert M. Moody: "He played a monumental role in my life by making me feel loved and accepted." Dr. Frazier has dedicated his life to mentoring and teaching so other families can understand the importance of love, family, and education.
In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with family and cooking Louisiana seafood gumbo—a treat we have heard a lot about! He loves Augusta for its small-town feel and wide-open spaces. He enjoys working in his community and looks forward to continued community engagement.
