                         HON. TIMOTHY H. BISHOP

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 20, 2006

  Mr. BISHOP of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize an 
exceptional constituent and community leader, Sister Kathryn Schlueter, 
CSJ, of Southampton, New York, who has dedicated herself to Catholic 
education on Long Island for nearly 40 years.
  Sister Kathy, as she is affectionately known, joined the Sisters of 
Saint Joseph in 1963. After graduation from Brentwood College with a 
Bachelor of Science in Education in 1967, she began her teaching career 
at the Saint Patrick School located in Smithtown, Long Island. Sister 
Kathy subsequently received her Masters in Educational Administration 
from Hofstra University in 1977 while continuing her teaching career at 
the Sacred Heart Academy in Hempstead, Long Island.
  In 1987, Sister Kathy arrived on the east end of Long Island as 
Principal of Our Lady of the Hamptons Regional Catholic School in 
Southampton where she has worked faithfully to improve the quality of 
that institution for the past 20 years.
  Under Sister Kathy's diligent stewardship, Our Lady of the Hamptons 
Regional Catholic School has been designated as a Blue Ribbon School of 
Excellence by the U.S. Department of Education and has received further 
accreditation by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. 
As Our Lady of the Hamptons prepares to celebrate its twenty-fifth 
anniversary as a Regional Catholic School, Sister Kathy should be 
recognized as the driving force behind its success.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of New York's First Congressional District, I 
express our sincere appreciation to Sister Kathy for her extraordinary 
commitment to excellence in education. We wish her continued success 
and happiness in the years to come.
