Former Burnet County justice of the peace honored for commitment to youth
BURNET — Bill Johnson served Burnet County residents for several years as Precinct 2 Justice of the Peace, but it was his dedication to Highland Lakes youth that finally earned his name a permanent place in the community.
People gathered June 5 in the Boys & Girls Club of the Highland Lakes Burnet Unit to honor Johnson, the man they credit for getting the facility’s building constructed in the 1990s. Though the Burnet unit didn’t open its door until November 2004, it was Johnson’s advocacy for youth in the 1990s that laid the groundwork.
During the ceremony, County Commissioner Russell Graeter and other Boys & Girls Club leaders dedicated the Burnet unit’s building to the former justice of the peace. The building, along with a sign out front, will bear Johnson’s name.
