Robert George Chambers

Mr. Robert 'Bob' Chambers was my Principal during my years at Jefferson (1966-1969), When I was in my Junior year, he signed-off on me attending Fox-Tech Night School, where I earned my first Certificate as an Electronics (TV) Technician. I remember my late dad Joseph Garza Garza, Jr. (Joe Garza, page 82 class of 43 yearbook) telling me that he and Bob were class mates. Thank you sir for helping me along my career's goals. I spent the next 60+ years as a Communications Cable Specialist in the...

During An occasion searches this it is now that we take the time to look back and reflect on how much of an amazing man that Mr. Chambers was. It is With great pride that I can say I was a student of Thomas Jefferson but with that pride also came the input of the leadership Which made Thomas Jefferson the great school that it was terrier at the helm of that ship was Mr. Chambers who was a steady rock for many at this school.

Mr. Chambers captained a very able ship at Jefferson. No doubt, school budgets were as tight then as now, but he was able to offer us many opportunities through a very professional staff to learn and develop in so many areas despite the trying social issues of the day. I'm glad I was able to convey my admiration to him at one of the more recent reunion events. His memory lives on in the class of '70.

My condolences go out to all of your family. Bob was a great person and role model--not only while I was at Jefferson but going back to when he coached our YMCA baseball team and on into the many years after that as we got to gather with the family up in Boerne.

I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Chambers passing. He was a great man and boss. When Area 1 superintendent of SAISD he was always there ready to give advice to those serving under him. He was always there to listen to any concern large or small. I appreciated the guidance he gave me. I will remember the family and Mr. Chambers in my thoughts and prayers. Chris was in my math class at Longfellow Jr. Hi.

Great appreciation for a man who treated students with respect, allowed them the latitude they needed to explore, and showed them the road to responsible adulthood by example.

Deepest condolences to the family. Bob was a great role model to all. I thought of him often as I tried to be a better leader, and man. God bless him

My deepest condolences to Mr. Chambers' Family. He was my boss and mentor as I was beginning my career in education in SAISD's Area 1 Office where he was Area Superintendent. He possessed a unique combination of knowledge, wisdom, fairness, and humor which made him the outstanding educator that I knew. His legacy is the students and colleagues that he assisted and advocated for throughout his career. May our prayers provide comfort during this difficult time.

Mr. Chambers was first of all the parent who was at all school activities with my classmate, Chris, from 1st grade to graduation. Then, in high school, he became our principal. After 20 years in education, myself, I can genuinely appreciate the role of principal he portrayed with wisdom, integrity, and passion.
