Personal Introduction
Hello! My name is Casey White.
Although I was born in Chicago in 1991, I arrived in Shawnee within just a month of my birth—and I’ve called
this place home ever since.
Shawnee means the world to me, and I see it remaining my home for many years to come.
Connection to Shawnee
Growing up, I spent much of my childhood biking all around Shawnee—through Boy Scout Park, down Highland Street,
around Woodland Veterans Park, along Kickapoo, Acme Road, and 45th, all the way to the old dirt ramps behind the
Brown Derby Drive-In. I’ve worked at the mall (Mobile Mobile), Chili’s, McDonald’s, and Fresenius, to name just a few.
My love for this community is deeply rooted, and my connection is truly “Shawnee strong.”
Professional/Educational Background
I currently serve as a Senior Data Engineer at ADP, where I lead the vulnerability management program for endpoints
across a global enterprise. I hold a B.S. in Software Development and an M.S. in IT Management. In addition, I serve
on the board at Home Church. I believe my technical background, combined with the life lessons I’ve learned along the way,
can bring valuable insight and positive impact to students, teachers, staff, and the greater Shawnee Public School System.
Family & Personal Values
My wife, Whitney White, and I have been married for nine years, and we have two wonderful children—ages six and four—both attending
Shawnee Public Schools. If elected, my hope is that one day they’ll look back and be proud of the contributions
I’ve made for their friends, teachers, classmates, and our community. I value transparency, honesty, innovation, and
accountability. While I know it’s impossible to make everyone happy all the time, I’ll do everything in my power to
treat every individual with respect and fairness.
Why I'm Running and My Vision
While I didn’t have a perfect childhood, I still remember the teachers who made a positive impact on my life.
My wife taught for nine years at Will Rogers, and she is now pursuing a Master’s degree in Counseling. I couldn’t be more
proud of her, and her career move has opened the door for me to serve our community by running for the school board.
My vision is to grow the “organics” of Shawnee Public Schools first—the spirit, the culture, the relationships—because
metrics alone mean little if there’s no real substance behind them. And if we have substance with no results, we’re missing
the full picture. Let’s do both.
Together, we can make Shawnee schools a model for others in Oklahoma
