Howdy POC, Seadrift & Calhoun County ISD District 5 Friends,

My name is Max Kipp and I am running for your Calhoun County School Board Trustee for District 5 and would like to firmly and fairly represent both our Seadrift and Port O’ Connor schools.

I am a volunteer at Port O’ Connor Elementary where my daughter, Vivian, attends the 1st grade, her 3rd year as a Dolphin! My wife, Ashley, also works for our school with our incredible school staff. I am also a member of the Port O’ Connor Volunteer Fire Department. I have 37 years’ experience in composite materials business and corporate management, along with multiple business certifications. My family and I are proud native TEXANS. I have been coming to the area for 40 years and we moved our family to Port O’Connor 3 years ago (from Austin, because it changed, and we would not). I enjoy spending time with my family, fishing, and anything outdoors. I’m currently a partner at Holeshot Performance Propellers, a small business in our region.

I encourage each of us, Parents, Citizens and Business Owners to be involved with OUR schools. Visit the campuses, talk with our Principles and Teachers, attend a School Board meeting when possible, join or assist PTO’s, become a Mentor for OUR KIDS, or even just pop in for lunch. I promise it will change their day, your day and your perspective for the better.

You are either from our district and stayed or moved here by choice and our schools are likely a big part of those decisions.

My objective will be to represent, fully support and improve our Children’s education and environment – AT THE DIRECTION OF OUR SCHOOL STAFF, PARENTS and COMMUNITIES. Easy to say, challenging to do, it will take seeking your input and presenting information back to our community from our School Board.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions directly 512-426-1875. Thank you for your consideration and support!
