                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 11, 2022

  Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the tremendous 
contributions of Dr. Kevin Rogers, Superintendent of Schools for the 
Lewisville Independent School District in Texas. After serving for six 
years in that position, it is my privilege to recognize Dr. Rogers' 
distinguished career in education as he enters retirement.
  Kevin Rogers, was born in Wichita Falls and raised in Andrews, Texas, 
graduated from Fort Stockton High School and obtained his undergraduate 
degree at the University of North Texas. He then received his master's 
degree from Texas Women's University and his doctorate from UNT.
  Beginning his 36-year long career in education as a Lewisville ISD 
science teacher, Dr. Rogers was then promoted to a supervisory role as 
the Assistant Principal of Marcus High School. He then served as the 
Arbor Creek Middle School Principal, Marcus High School Principal, and 
Lewisville ISD Chief Operations Officer prior to his appointment as 
Interim Superintendent,
  Dr. Rogers' contributions to Lewisville ISD include the introduction 
of Elementary STEM academies, Pre-kindergarten Discovery Academies, The 
Colony High School Collegiate Academy, and additional immersive Spanish 
classes at the middle school level. In order to further bolster the 
physical well-being of his students, Dr. Rogers also inaugurated 
Student Assistance Counseling and Behavior Intervention into the 
register of Lewisville ISD services. Under his diligent stewardship, 
during the last school year, LISD served over 50,000 students from 13 
municipalities on 69 different campuses. His improvements to the school 
district's operations will benefit future generations of students for 
years to come.
  The University of North Texas previously honored Dr. Rogers with the 
title of UNT Outstanding Doctoral Student in Educational 
Administration. The Lewisville Parent-Teacher Association also awarded 
Dr. Rogers with a Lifetime Achievement Award, and The Town of Flower 
Mound named him Citizen of the Year in 2016.
  I join the parents, teachers, and students of Lewisville ISD in 
congratulating Dr. Rogers on a long and successful public service 
career. In addition, I would like to sincerely thank him for the 
positive working relationship he fostered with my district office and 
the hospitality extended by LISD in hosting multiple congressional 
events. Dr. Rogers has worked closely with my staff since his tenure as 
Marcus High School's principal and has graciously allowed me to hold 
numerous Town Halls, Energy Summits, and Emergency Preparedness Summits 
at Lewisville ISD's facilities. As he concludes almost four decade of 
tireless service to the young men and women of North Texas, I wish him 
all the best in his well-earned retirement.
