Eagle Scout:1987

Chris Smith grew up in Orange, Texas, as the son of a trial lawyer who represented people injured by the wrongdoing of others and a public school teacher. He understood at an early age the importance of both education and community service. He was very active in the Boy Scouts of America, earning the rank of Eagle Scout in 1987. He was a member of the United States Contingent to the World Scout Jamboree in Australia and New Zealand in 1987-88.

Chris has traveled extensively and developed a world perspective from first hand experience that cannot be obtained from book study alone. His travels have taken him to the countries of Egypt, Israel, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Germany, France, Great Britain, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Austria, Switzerland, and Czechoslovakia.

While at Hamshire-Fannett, Chris was active in a variety of extra curricular activities and graduated with honors. After earning an undergraduate degree in Philosophy at Baylor University, he earned a degree in English at the University of Texas at Austin. At the University of Texas, he was sports editor of the Daily Texan, one of the top college newspapers in America and the nation's second largest college daily with readership of over 50,000 people. Chris ended his tenure at the Daily Texan as Associate Managing Editor, a position in which he supervised a 70 person staff.

Chris's wife Stacy, teaches English in the Little Cypress-Maurceville School District. They are the parents of a daughter and a son.
