Beloved educator awarded for making a lasting impact on his community.
Dr. Henry's 42-year career in education, including 32 years as a superintendent and 12 years at CFISD, has been marked by numerous achievements and accolades. Under his leadership, CFISD emerged as the largest A-rated school district in Texas in multiple years, growing from 107,995 students and 84 campuses to 118,500 students and 93 campuses. Dr. Henry's tenure also saw the district win the H-E-B Excellence Award in Education and a No.1 rating by the Education Resource Group (ERG) for Best Overall in Academic Performance and Financial Performance.
"Dr. Mark Henry did so much good for so many during his tenure at CFISD…we joyfully honor him as our inaugural recipient of CFFCU's Community Quill Award. We know that, by his selection, we are setting the bar very high for future recipients," said Cameron Dickey, president and CEO of CFFCU, who told Dr. Henry as he presented him the award, “Your legacy and the stories that you’ve written into will extend for many, many years.”
The Community Quill Award is a natural extension of the values held by the CFISD educators who founded CFFCU as well as others who have shaped the credit union's story as board members, committee members, and community partners for nearly 70 years. Launched in 2024, the award will be presented annually to individuals who have demonstrated a devotion to efforts that help improve the lives of those within the local community.
“It was such a capstone of my career and such an honor to be able to serve in the Cy-Fair community,” said Dr. Henry as he received the award. “I knew it was a great community and one of my goals the 12 ½ years I served here was to make sure that even though we’re as big as we are, that we kept a community focus and community feel.”
Cy-Fair FCU will open nominations for future Community Quill Award recipients via email at info@cyfairfcu.org. A dedicated webpage for this award is planned where nominations will also be accepted.
