Conroe ISD honors departing superintendent Dr. Noll; trustees, staff and community speakers praise his leadership
Summary
The board and dozens of speakers recognized Dr. Curtis Noll’s tenure as superintendent as he prepares to leave for another district; the meeting included multiple thank-you remarks and presentation of student-made gifts.
Trustees, district staff, parents and alumni used part of the Conroe ISD board meeting to publicly recognize Superintendent Dr. Curtis Noll as he prepares to depart the district for a new position.
The board offered extended remarks about Dr. Noll’s leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic, his focus on transparency and district recognition on state and national lists. During the special-recognition portion of the agenda, board members cited awards earned by the district under his tenure and described a personal, visible leadership style.
Several community members and employees offered tributes during public comments and special recognition. Speakers included long-time teachers, district parents, alumni and representatives of the Junior League who highlighted Dr. Noll's work ethic, relationship-building, and mentorship of staff. One community member presented a handcrafted 70-year-old pine plaque made by Grand Oaks carpentry students as a thank-you gift.
Dr. Noll thanked the district and said he would remain involved locally because his family would continue to live in the area; he described the departure as "the long goodbye" and said he prepared a farewell video for staff. Board members and members of the public applauded his work and wished him success in his next role at Lake Travis ISD.
No board action related to his departure (a personnel motion or contract action) was taken on this agenda item; the remarks were ceremonial and part of the meeting’s special-recognition agenda.
