CONGRATULATIONS TO CATHY MOSS TAYLOR, MOBILE AREA OUTSTANDING EDUCATOR

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. JO BONNER

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 12, 2003

  Mr. BONNER. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride and pleasure that I 
rise to honor Mrs. Cathy Moss Taylor for having recently received the 
Mobile Area Education Foundation's 2003 Outstanding Educator Award. She 
deserves our utmost respect and sincere congratulations. Her dedication 
and service have rightly earned her this prestigious award.
  Cathy Moss Taylor has always been committed to service. She is a math 
teacher at Satsuma High School and is deeply committed to helping her 
students learn and succeed in life. She recently worked to establish a 
tutorial program to help seniors successfully retake the math section 
of the Alabama High School Graduation Exam. This program has proven to 
be a great success with over a 90 percent passing rate. Her commitment 
to her students and to the community has been unsurpassed and has 
impacted all of her students.
  Mrs. Cathy Moss Taylor works hard both in and out of the classroom. 
Despite the time she has spent raising her two children and her niece, 
she also gives her afternoons by helping to sponsor the Miss Satsuma 
High School Pageant and the Satsuma High School screening committee for 
the Azalea Trail Maid selection. She has touched so many young lives 
with her caring and support and has gone well beyond the duties 
required by her job.
  Hard work and dedication are just a few words that can only begin to 
describe Cathy Moss Taylor. She is a joy to her students and her peers 
and her ability to reach out and touch the lives of others is a rarity 
and a special treasure. Once again, I congratulate Cathy Moss Taylor 
for her hard work, dedication, and service to her students, to her 
community and to our great country.
