District says goodbye to trustee Larry Marshall

Next month, Larry Marshall will say goodbye to HISD after marking more than 50 years in public education as both an employee and a trustee.

Marshall first joined the district as a teacher back in 1955, and retired as the deputy superintendent in 1991 after 36 years of dedicated service. He was subsequently elected to the Board of Education in 1997, and served 16 years over four terms before deciding not to seek re-election.

Marshall will take part in his last regular board meeting as the District IX representative on Dec. 12, and to recognize his many contributions to Houston’s largest public school system, his fellow trustees will be hosting a farewell reception in his honor immediately beforehand.

Marshall will remain an active board member until his successor is sworn into office before the first meeting of 2014 on Jan. 16.

Many other employees are also marked milestones between Nov. 24 and Dec. 7. See if you know anyone on this list, and check back next Friday for more.
