Pasadena ISD Alumni Spotlight: Celebrating 55 Years of Service by Roger Woest
Pasadena Independent School District proudly shines a spotlight on one of its most dedicated alumni, Roger Woest, who has devoted over five decades to the district that shaped his early years. A graduate of Pasadena ISD, Roger attended several schools in the district before graduating from the then-new Sam Rayburn High School. His experiences as a student inspired him to return as an educator, where he has spent an extraordinary 55 years serving Pasadena ISD in various roles.
Roger’s journey within the district began as a teacher, eventually leading to a series of leadership roles that included an impressive 15-year tenure as Area Superintendent. When Pasadena Memorial High School opened, Roger returned to campus-level leadership, where he has continued to inspire students and colleagues alike for the past 22 years.
His contributions have shaped countless lives and will continue to inspire future generations. Thank you, Roger, for your incredible legacy!
