                    in the house of representatives

                       Sunday, December 18, 2005

  Mr. BUTTERFIELD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of one of the 
finest educators ever produced by the great State of North Carolina.
  This year, Superintendent Larry Price of my hometown of Wilson was 
named the 2006 North Carolina Superintendent of the Year. This is the 
highest honor for an educator in our State. The award was given by the 
North Carolina Association of School Administrators and the State 
school boards' association and announced at an awards banquet Monday 
night.
  Larry Price has served as superintendent in Wilson County since 1998, 
overseeing 13 elementary schools, 6 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 
2 learning centers. Under his guidance, Wilson County schools have 
produced thousands of students who have gone on to become doctors, 
lawyers, teachers, ministers, businessmen, and other professions. An 
increasing number each year meet or excel in reading and math at all 
grade levels since 1998.
  I rise to congratulate Mr. Price on his accomplishment, and wish him 
many more years of success. Larry, we expect many more great things 
from you.
