                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS

                        Wednesday, March 7, 2001

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mildred L. Boyce for 
her contribution to the education of New York's children. For over 25 
years Ms. Boyce has been a dedicated teacher and administrator.
  Although Ms. Boyce was bom in Manhattan she received all of her 
education in Brooklyn, attending P.S. 44, P.S. 181, J.H.S. 246, Erasmus 
Hall High School and Brooklyn College, where she received a B.A. 
degree, M.S. degree and a professional Diploma in Administration and 
Supervision.
  Ms. Boyce began her career in education as a 6th grade teacher at 
P.S. 106, in 1965, where she later held the position of Master Teacher 
and Interim Acting Assistant Principal, before coming to Philippa 
Schuyler in 1977. Currently, Ms. Boyce serves as the Principal of the 
Philippa Schuyler Middle School for the Gifted and Talented.
  For her devotion, and hard work Ms. Boyce has been the recipient of 
many awards including the NAACP Educator's Award and the Black 
Professional Business Women's Educator Award.
  In addition to her duties as an educator, Ms. Boyce is an active 
member of St. Laurence Catholic Church, serving as a Lector, and a 
member of the Baptismal team. She is also a member and advisor to the 
President of the Council for Supervisors and Administrators as well as 
an elected delegate from District 32. She sits on the executive board 
of District 32's supervisors.
  Today, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Ms. Mildred L. 
Boyce for her hard work and extraordinary contributions in the field of 
education.
