 TRIBUTE TO DR. WILLIAM WHEELER, NEW HAMPSHIRE'S SUPERINTENDENT OF THE 
                                  YEAR

 Mr. SMITH. Mr. President, I rise today to pay tribute to Dr. 
William Wheeler for receiving New Hampshire's Superintendent of the 
Year Award. William has served his schools with pride and dedication, 
always putting the best interests of New Hampshire's children first. As 
a former teacher and school board chairman myself, I am proud to 
congratulate him for receiving this prestigious award.
  William received his doctorate in education from the University of 
Wyoming and has been a teacher, high school principal, and assistant 
superintendent of schools. He is currently superintendent of school in 
School Administrative Unit No. 38, which serves the Monadnock Regional, 
Hinsdale, and Winchester Schools District. In addition, he also serves 
as president of the New Hampshire Schools Administrators Association. 
William's colleagues have always been impressed with his focus and 
commitment to the communities he serves.
  William was selected as New Hampshire's Superintendent of the Year 
for his leadership, communication skills, professionalism, and 
community involvement. He is a leader and an educator tireless in his 
commitment to children and community. William's efforts on behalf of 
New Hampshire public school children have been praised by many 
including the New Hampshire School Boards Association, the director of 
the New Hampshire School Administrator's Association, New Hampshire's 
Education Commissioner, and the vice president of the New Hampshire 
Business and Industry Association.
  Our Nation's children are our future and one of our greatest 
treasures. Our educators have been entrusted with the care and 
development of these young minds and are the guardians of this 
treasure. As superintendent, William has done an excellent job 
coordinating the schools in his care. His outstanding performance is 
reflected in the quality of the schools in his district and the respect 
and admiration he has earned from fellow educators. I commend William 
Wheeler for a career of distinction in the field of education. New 
Hampshire is fortunate to have such a talented and dedicated educator 
devoted to our children.
