Mr. Powell's dedication to teaching is reflected in the true work ethic that I have been able to observe along with the concern he has for his students. Robert is honest, sincere, hard- working and a man of great character and integrity.

Mr. Powell has been a dedicated teacher at Katy High School.......... ....and I have found him to be a highly responsible and competent individual who has performed above and beyond the call of his duties. He accepts responsibility squarely and always goes that "extra inch" with the good of the students and school in mind.
His enthusiasm for teaching and genuine caring for teachers and students is only surpassed by his instructional talents and creativity
I recommend him for serious consideration
