Commentary: Superintendent Saul Hinojosa remembers John Hayes for his investment in the students and teachers of Somerset ISD.
Credit:This commentary is taken from a eulogy delivered by Somerset Superintendent Saul Hinojosa in memory of John Hayes, president of oil and gas company Activa ResourcesAs I sat reflecting on my friendship with John Hayes and writing my thoughts, the most appropriate Bible verse that came to mind to describe John was Mark 9:35: “Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all.
Over time, what started as a business venture turns into this beautiful story that speaks to John’s passion and generosity. As he became more involved, he witnessed the struggles of a student population where 90% lived in poverty and where many are deprived of basic resources we all take for granted.

John was so proud of the district that he even had his daughter Hayden come out and attend staff development and observe classes so she could see first-hand the great work being done as she started her career in education.
When many students in the surrounding area were at home, Somerset was able to have 87% of their students in class, which propelled the district to an “A” rating, a National Blue Ribbon School, and a visit by the commissioner of the Texas Education Agency, which is a really big deal. We accomplished what many thought was an unmanageable feat.
