Meyer Elementary School

About Our Namesake: John Christian Meyer

John Christian Meyer, born on May 4, 1863, in Opendorf, Germany, was a pioneering spirit whose legacy lives on through our school and community. At the age of 17, he emigrated to America and eventually settled in Fort Bend County in 1910, where he farmed the land our school now sits upon for 34 years.

A progressive farmer and a highly respected citizen, Mr. Meyer was deeply rooted in his faith and community. He was a charter member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Rosenberg and, alongside his wife Lena Baker Meyer, raised 10 children. Many of his descendants continue to live in the Rosenberg and Richmond area today.

His life of dedication, hard work, and service continues to inspire the values we uphold at our school.
