 CONGRATULATING JACK AND DONNA CLARK FOR THEIR SERVICE TO FLOWER MOUND 
                              HIGH SCHOOL

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. MICHAEL C. BURGESS

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 13, 2008

  Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Jack and 
Donna Clark, long time administrators of Flower Mound High School. The 
Lewisville Independent School District is honoring their service by 
naming Flower Mound High School's auditorium the Jack and Donna Clark 
Auditorium.
  Naming the Flower Mound High School auditorium after Mr. and Mrs. 
Clark is especially fitting because they both enjoy and have an 
interest in the performing arts. Donna was a member of the world-famous 
Rangerettes at Kilgore College in Kilgore, Texas. The couple met when 
both were teaching at Lake Highlands High School in Dallas, Texas. 
Donna was an English teacher and director of the Highlandettes Drill 
Team and Jack was the head basketball coach.
  The Clark family moved to Flower Mound in 1999 to help open Flower 
Mound High School. Four years later, Mr. Clark was named principal, the 
same year the couple's son, Cody, graduated from Flower Mound High 
School. Additionally, Mr. Clark was named Principal of the Year by 
Lewisville ISD.
  The final paragraph of the nominating letter, which was signed by 
every assistant principal and member of the counseling staff, states: 
``The dedication that Jack and Donna Clark have shown through their 
years of education and to Flower Mound High School should not go 
unnoticed.'' This dedication is a great way to honor this couple for 
their devotion to the community of Flower Mound.
  Madam Speaker, I am honored to rise today and pay tribute to Jack and 
Donna Clark and their legacy of service to the arts. I am proud to 
represent this couple in the 26th District of Texas and I am glad to 
know that their legacy will continue to live on.
