                           HON. JON C. PORTER

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 25, 2005

  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Susan Segal, Principal 
of Basic High School in Henderson, Nevada. Ms. Segal is now completing 
her twenty-first year in the Clark County School District. She moved to 
Nevada from New York City where she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in 
Spanish from the City University of New York and began teaching Spanish 
and French in the New York City school system. Ms. Segal began her 
career in Nevada's school system in February 1983 as an itinerant 
English language teacher in the Indo-Chinese Refugee Program.
  Ms. Segal became an administrator in January 1994 when she was 
appointed Dean of Students at Basic High School, and after two years 
was appointed Assistant Principal at Cheyenne High School. In January 
of 1999 she was appointed Principal of Desert Pines High School where 
she was in charge of selecting a curriculum and hiring a complete staff 
for the high school.
  In July of 2002, Ms. Segal returned to Basic High School where she is 
the current principal and oversees 100 licensed personnel, five 
administrators, and 40 support staff in a school of about 2,230 
students. She balances her time between her staff and her students by 
ensuring that her students are receiving the best education possible.
  Mr. Speaker, Susan Segal works diligently to serve her local Nevada 
community as she works hard to prepare her students for the future. She 
is a wonderful role model who gives 100 percent to her staff and her 
students. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate her diligence and hard work and 
would ask that my colleagues support me in honoring Susan Segal for her 
invaluable service.
