priority of putting the needs of students first as it developed from
a small district of only 19,000 students into the third-largest
district in the state, serving more than 110,000 young people;
Dr. Wells was particularly instrumental in facilitating this
transition, overseeing four successful bond elections that were
essential for the district to keep pace with its growth and maintain
its high quality of education; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Wells retired following the 2011-2012 school
year, but remains engaged in the district, spearheading an
initiative to create a Wall of Fame at Cypress Creek High; Dr. Wells
is now the executive director of Region 4, managing dozens of
districts across seven counties; and
WHEREAS, Active in the greater community as well, the couple
belong to Friends of Reach Unlimited; Dr. Wells is also a member of
Cy-Hope and a board member of the Cy-Fair Educational Foundation,
and Mr. Wells is a charter member of the Willowbrook Rotary Club and
also contributes his time and talents to several other local
organizations; and
WHEREAS, Throughout their years in education, Jim and Pam
Wells have demonstrated an exceptional commitment to Cy-Fair ISD,
and their accomplishments will continue to resonate in the lives of
countless area residents for many years to come; now, therefore, be
it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
