                                  _____
                                 

                            HON. PETE OLSON

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 22, 2016

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Joe Adams on his 
retirement from the Katy Independent School District (KISD) Board of 
Trustees, after serving 27 years.
  When Mr. Adams attended his first school groundbreaking 27 years ago, 
there was nothing but prairie to the west of this brand new elementary 
school. Since the beginning of Adams' tenure on the board, the area has 
transformed into a booming, busy suburban district. The Katy ISD 
enrollment has also increased by 53,000 with 41 new schools opening 
under his watch. Adams fondest memories are standing on the stage at 
graduations and congratulating outgoing KISD seniors on their 
accomplishments. The residents of Katy have been well served by his 
leadership in helping ensure a strong education for our students.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations and thank you to Joe Adams for his 27 years of service 
on the Katy ISD board of trustees. We appreciate your service and 
dedication to Katy.
