                             of new mexico

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 14, 2000

  Mrs. WILSON. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to share with you the 
story of Marshall Floyd, a man who has taught at Highland High School 
in Albuquerque New Mexico for 47 years. His dedication has earned him a 
unique honor: the Marshall Floyd Award is given to outstanding teachers 
every year. The classroom teachers who receive this honor must have a 
minimum of ten years experience and excellence in teaching.
  Mr. Floyd is the kind of teacher who defines teaching and education 
for his students and colleagues. He does far more than teach; he 
inspires many that share his classroom, as have the recipients of the 
Marshall Floyd Award.
  The teachers from my home of Albuquerque, New Mexico who received the 
Award this year are:
  Ms. Carol Hoffman, an English and humanities teacher at Sandia High 
School, a teacher of 37 years.
  Ms. Barbara Langner, chair of the English Department at Highland High 
School, has taught for 28 years.
  Mr. Chris Montano, a fifth grade teacher at Duranes Elementary 
School, who has taught for 15 years.
  Ms. Sharon Swallows, a second grade teacher at Bandelier Elementary 
School, has been a teacher for 34 years.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in honoring the dedication of Mr. 
Marshall Floyd and the teachers honored with the Marshall Floyd Award 
for their contributions to their students and our community of 
Albuquerque, New Mexico.
