                      Wednesday, December 6, 2006

  Mr. ROSS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the hard work and 
dedication of Frank Anthony. Mr. Anthony is a guiding light to the 
youth and educators of Arkansas. On November 28th he was honored as the 
Arkansas Association of Education Administrator's (AAEA) 2006-2007 
Superintendent of the Year.
  The AAEA is an umbrella organization of ten constituent educational 
administrator groups. The organization was founded in 1976 and 
currently represents more than 2,800 members.
  Frank Anthony is the Superintendent of the Pine Bluff School District 
and has dedicated his life to education. Before excelling in his 
current position, Mr. Anthony served the Arkansas State Department of 
Education and the school districts of Eudora, Warren, Wilmot and 
Parkdale. Mr. Anthony started out his career as a Math teacher and 
basketball coach and immediately made a difference in the lives of the 
students and fellow faculty members.
  Along with serving his school district, Mr. Anthony also serves the 
community by sitting on numerous boards and commissions such as the 
United Way and Pine Bluff Chamber of Commerce.
  Frank Anthony's dedication to making our state a better place to 
live, through his work as a public school educator, should serve as an 
example and an inspiration for us all.
  I am so pleased to have the opportunity to properly recognize Frank 
Anthony before the United States Congress for his outstanding 
contributions to the field of education and to the communities and 
lives he has touched in Arkansas. Please join me in congratulating Mr. 
Anthony on his honor of being named Arkansas's Superintendent of the 
Year.
