Cy-Fair ISD Superintendent Mark Henry will retire at the end of 2023 after 12 years in the district, according to a May 8 message to community members.
“This is the hardest decision I have ever had to make,” he said in an email statement. “To be superintendent of Cypress-Fairbanks ISD has been the capstone of a blessed career. The friends I’ve made, being involved in the community and seeing so many dedicated educators guide our students to reach their goals has been a blessing.”
Henry has a bachelor’s degree in secondary education, a Master of Education in administration and a Doctor of Education in administration. He has been an educator for 42 years—32 of which were as a superintendent. He joined CFISD in 2011.
During his time in CFISD, he was named Region 4 Education Service Center Superintendent of the Year and was a finalist for Texas Superintendent of the year. Henry has been heavily involved in the Cy-Fair Houston Chamber of Commerce and has served as a trustee for the Cy-Fair Educational Foundation Leadership Committee as well as for HCA Houston Healthcare.
