A Katy ISD assistant principal for Mayde Creek High School has been charged with assaulting a student. The former employee is charged of an incident that occurred at school earlier this month.
Adrian Lee Berg, 45, has been charged with assaulting a student at Mayde Creek High School. The incident occurred on October 3, 2024 around 7:15 a.m. Katy ISD has confirmed that Berg is no longer employed with the school district.
According to court records and witnesses, Berg is accused of choking a 14-year-old student by placing his arm around her neck and slammed her to the ground.
A school officer was present just before the incident when he reported two students were in a heated conversation.

Throughout the incident, the student was also reported to have run into a brick column hitting her head.
Katy ISD is not able to provide further details on the incident at this time but has shared the following statement:
