WHEREAS, Maxie Morgan, superintendent of Cameron Independent |
|
|
School District, is retiring on June 30, 2007, after 38 years of |
|
|
dedicated service with the district; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A graduate of the University of North Texas, Mr. |
|
|
Morgan joined the faculty of the O. J. Thomas School in 1969 and |
|
|
spent four years teaching and coaching at the junior high school; he |
|
|
moved from the classroom to administration in 1973 when he became |
|
|
the district's federal programs director and media center director; |
|
|
in that capacity he worked to ensure that students had access to |
|
|
high quality media tools and equipment; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Morgan's steady advancement and acceptance of |
|
|
increased responsibility coincided with the district's accelerated |
|
|
growth; while serving as principal of C. H. Yoe High School from |
|
|
1978 to 1982, he oversaw the many renovations and improvements to |
|
|
the high school's facilities and grounds, and he can take special |
|
|
pride in the academic, athletic, and extracurricular successes of |
|
|
the school's students during his years as principal; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Morgan became the district's business manager in |
|
|
1982; the face of the district changed enormously over the next two |
|
|
decades as facilities were expanded and many new buildings were |
|
|
constructed; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Following his successful tenure as business |
|
|
manager, Mr. Morgan was named interim superintendent in 2001 and |
|
|
superintendent in 2002; in those roles he once again found himself |
|
|
pushing the district toward innovation and progressive change, most |
|
|
notably in the advancement of the district's state-of-the-art |
|
|
technology program; today, Cameron ISD provides a firm educational |
|
|
foundation on which its students can build; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Cameron Independent School District owes a debt of |
|
|
gratitude to Maxie Morgan for his visionary leadership and |
|
|
dedication to creating superior educational opportunities for the |
|
|
district's students, and his legacy of achievement will continue to |
|
|
benefit the district and its students for years to come; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Maxie Morgan on the occasion of his |
|
|
retirement as superintendent of Cameron Independent School |
|
|
District and commend him for his exemplary service to generations |
|
|
of young people in Cameron; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Mr. Morgan as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
