These educators were shining stars during their illustrious careers, role models to many educators and students. Dr. Anthony who served as a superintendent of schools throughout the Texas Public Education System for 24 years of his career said, “I consider Cy-Fair ISD to be the holy grail of public school districts in Texas, and it’s because of all the great people in it. I’m receiving this award because the people here taught me how to be a better superintendent by the time that I left than I was when I first arrived.”
