   IN HONOR OF JULIANA TEXLEY, RETIRING SUPERINTENDENT OF ANCHOR BAY 
                                SCHOOLS

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DAVID E. BONIOR

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 18, 2000

  Mr. BONIOR. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor the distinguished 
career of retiring Superintendent of Anchor Bay Schools, Juliana 
Texley. Administrator, educator, author and mother, Dr. Texley has 
dedicated her life to sharing knowledge and bringing it to others in 
multiple formats and settings.
  Dr. Texley has been with the Anchor Bay Community Schools since 1990, 
but has been educating all her life. Beginning her career as a science 
and math teacher at Richmond High School, as her education increased, 
so did her responsibilities as an educator. She held instructor 
positions at Macomb Community College, St. Clair County Community 
College, Wayne State University, and Central Michigan University. Dr. 
Texley's influence on students has transcended the traditional 
classroom. She has contributed to many of the most respected scientific 
journals, studies and forums in the sciences.
  Mr. Texley's toughness and determination were just what the Anchor 
Bay schools needed when she took over as Superintendent in 1993. She 
oversaw the rebuilding of a district ready to burst due to urban sprawl 
and new development. Thanks to her vision and resolve the Anchor Bay 
School system will soon see a brand new high school in addition to 
plans to renovated and modernized the elementary schools and junior 
high.
  The presence of Dr. Juliana Texley will surely be missed throughout 
Anchor Bay Schools. But her legacy as a leader will be seen in every 
modernized classroom and every successful student that walks the halls 
of an Anchor Bay school. Please join me in wishing Dr. Texley and her 
family all the best as she begins her new life.
