                        HONORING FREDERIC FRICK

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. RON KIND

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 13, 2007

  Mr. KIND. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Frederic 
Frick, upon his resignation as superintendent of Holmen School 
District. Fred is a dedicated public servant who has earned the respect 
and admiration of the teachers, staff, and over 3,000 students under 
his supervision. His work will be greatly missed.
  In his 18 years as superintendent, Fred has made significant 
improvements in a rapidly expanding community. To accommodate the 
several new families moving into the area and to ensure each child had 
access to a quality education, Fred was responsible for the 
construction of a new elementary school, high school, and district 
administrative office. In addition, Fred successfully tended to the 
daily needs of his students, teachers, and parents and in 1998 was 
named Superintendent of the Year by the Wisconsin Association of School 
District Administrators.
  Although Fred is retiring from his current position, he will remain a 
visible presence in the lives of students and teachers in the Holmen 
community. His advocacy, dedication, and leadership will leave a 
lasting legacy, and the area will continue to benefit from all that he 
has accomplished. On behalf of the students and staff, I would like to 
thank Fred for his many years of tireless service and for making 
students his top priority. I wish Fred a long and very happy 
retirement.
