In April 2013, D. Bruce Lockerbie was selected as Fort Bend Christian Academy's Interim Head of School.

After 35 years of teaching and administering, ending in 1991, D. Bruce Lockerbie now leads a team of consultants called PAIDEIA, Inc. [ “pie-day-ah” ], working with schools, colleges, universities, and seminaries, as well as churches, helping agencies, and other institutions.

After a year as English instructor and track coach at Wheaton College, Lockerbie served on the faculty of The Stony Brook School, 1957-1991.

Upon retiring from The Stony Brook School, he held the appointment of Thomas F. Staley Foundation Scholar-in-Residence.

Lockerbie is author, co-author, or editor of forty books whose topics range broadly: aesthetics, biography, literary and social criticism, history, education, family living, popular theology, as well as textbooks. Recent titles are A Passion for Learning: A History of Christian Thought on Education, From Candy Sales to Committed Donors, Dismissing God: Modern Writers= Struggle against Religion, The Timeless Moment: Creativity and the Christian Faith, Thinking-and-Acting Like a Christian, and A Christian Paideia: The Habitual Vision of Greatness.

A one-time world-ranked middle-distance runner for New York University and the New York Athletic Club, Lockerbie now concentrates on improving his skills as a left-handed golfer. A hole-in-one has already won him a new car, but he's not ready for the PGA tour.

A life-long singer, Bruce Lockerbie has been a member of choirs conducted by Peter J. Wilhousky, Robert Shaw, Gregg Smith, Robert Craft, and Mark Orton; he has also conducted church and school choirs.
