A Reserve Officers’ Training Corps teacher has been found guilty of indecent sexual contact with a female Prosper ISD student.
A Collin County jury convicted Michael Christopher Songy of indecent assault, a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail.
Staff Sergeant Songy was a Junior ROTC instructor at Rock Hill High School in the Prosper Independent School District.
He was arrested in May 2025 on a charge of indecent assault. A second charge was filed in December 2025.
After multiple delays, a jury trial was held on October 12, 2026, in Judge David Waddill’s County Court at Law 7.
Jurors delivered the verdict on October 13, finding Songy guilty of the December 2025 charge. The earlier charge was dismissed.
A sentencing hearing is scheduled for November 12.
An indecent assault conviction does not require sex offender registration.
Songy worked in Prosper ISD for eight years, starting in 2017 as a science teacher at Reynolds Middle School, then moving in 2022 to Rock Hill High School where the district’s JROTC program is based. He previously taught in Forney ISD and Dallas ISD.
His LinkedIn page states Songy is an “expert” in instruction, motivation, team development, and operational leadership who is “transitioning to new opportunities.”
Songy has held a Texas teaching certificate for science since 2015 and received an emergency permit to teach Junior ROTC in August 2024. His credentials are under review by the Texas Education Agency.
An earlier sexual misconduct complaint against Songy was reported to the TEA in July 2024, but the agency did not open a formal investigation and Prosper ISD hired Songy back for the 2024-25 school year.
Prosper parents and students allege Songy was also known to be “inappropriate” with female students when he was teaching at the middle school, but administrators failed to act on complaints.
Songy is among hundreds of Texas school employees accused of sex crimes involving students and other children in just the past few years, and thousands have been reported to the TEA for sexual misconduct.
TEA data shows the agency is currently investigating more than 3,000 educator sexual misconduct complaints and opening an average of 250 new cases each month.
