More about the Young's:
Gerald David Young, born in Baytown, Texas, to parents Oscar and Dorothy, inherited a strong work ethic and inspiration from his father's example. His childhood aspiration of pursuing agriculture led him to become an agricultural teacher, driven by a desire to provide students the experiences he missed. After earning a bachelor's degree in agricultural sciences from Sam Houston State University, he embarked on his educational journey at Austin ISD, later joining Humble ISD.
It was Mike Schroeder, an agriculture teacher at Taylor High School, who introduced Young to a role at Katy High School's Agriculture Department. After joining in 1980, Young worked with vocational agricultural students and played a pivotal role in nurturing the District 2 Livestock Judging Contest, which evolved into the renowned Katy Invitational Judging contest.
Throughout his remarkable 22-year tenure at Katy ISD, Young trained and guided 60 teams to state contests, with ten winning state titles and seven advancing to the national contest. Around 350 students achieved the Lone Star Farmers Degree, the pinnacle of recognition by the Texas FFA Association.
Young's passion for effecting change led him to advocate for agricultural sciences as part of the curriculum, co-authoring and advocating for the passage of House Bill 3485. This milestone enabled agricultural sciences courses to encompass science, math, speech, and fine arts, amplifying their impact.
In 2002, Young transitioned from Katy ISD to become the executive director of the Vocational Agriculture Teachers Association of Texas, championing FFA chapters across the state. For a decade, he continued to shape the future of agricultural education before retiring.
Today, Young remains engaged in the Katy ISD Livestock Show & Rodeo and continues his unwavering support for the agricultural industry and the District's Ag program. While retired from full-time employment, his legacy thrives through his immediate family: wife Nancy, daughter Neely Nelson, son Cole Young, and their families.
Gerald David Young's life has been an inspiring journey of dedication to agriculture, making a profound impact on countless students, FFA programs, and the broader community.
When Mr. Young retired from the Vocational Agriculture Teachers Association of Texas (VATAT) the John Hawley interviewed Mr. Young and stated, "Even though Young is retiring, he and his family don't plan to stop serving the agriculture industry. We’ll be involved in agriculture as long as we can breathe, Young said."
