                        Thursday, April 21, 2005

  Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the important 
contributions of Lytle Independent School District Superintendent 
Michelle Carroll Smith.
  Ms. Smith is a product of her hometown school system. She was raised 
on a farm in Lytle, Texas and graduated from Lytle high school. She 
graduated from The University of Texas at San Antonio with a Bachelor's 
degree in Elementary Education. Then, after completing her Master's 
degree in Education Administration, she became Principal at the 
elementary school. She later became Assistant Superintendent, and in 
December 2002, she became the Superintendent of Lytle Independent 
School District.
  Ms. Smith's family has been in the Lytle school district for many 
years: her father Alfred Carroll graduated in 1961, and her grandmother 
Theresa Carroll graduated in 1940 from Lytle High School. Her children 
Trenton and Macy also plan to carry on the family tradition and 
graduate from Lytle High School in 2013 and 2016.
  Mr. Speaker, Lytle Independent School District Superintendent 
Michelle Carroll Smith is a model of community involvement, and I am 
pleased to have this opportunity to publicly thank her.
