                        Thursday, July 21, 2005

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the service and 
commitment of Larry Sigler for his lifelong dedication and commitment 
to the education and development of our youth.
  After attending North Texas to receive his math degree and Master's 
in secondary education, Larry taught at Dallas Hillcrest High School 
and at Lewisville Middle School, now DeLay Middle School. He then 
served as assistant principal at DeLay, Hedrick Middle School, and 
Lewisville High School. He also served as principal of Hedrick before 
serving as the first principal of Marcus High School.
  After 19 years as principal at Marcus, Larry retired in 2000. While 
there, he helped to develop the school into one of the best academic 
schools in the state. Also, despite graduating from and playing 
football for the rival school, Lewisville High, he helped to build 
Marcus's strong athletic program. The Marcus High athletic program has 
been recognized with both state and district championship on many 
occasions.
  It is with great honor that I stand here today to recognize Larry 
Sigler for his contributions in improving the quality of our secondary 
education. His commitment serves as inspiration to others in his field 
and those who wish to make a positive difference in the lives of young 
people.
