                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 3, 2009

  Mr. SESSIONS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a teaching legend, 
Mr. Larry Cavitt and to celebrate his forty years of dedicated service 
at St. Mark's School of Texas. I am proud to represent St. Mark's in 
the 32nd Congressional District of Texas.
  Mr. Cavitt first joined St. Mark's faculty on August 28, 1969 after 
receiving his M.A. from Southern Methodist University. In his current 
role, he serves as the 5th grade humanities teacher and senior class 
advisor. During his tenure at St. Mark's, he has also taught 7th, 8th, 
and 9th grade Social Studies, 8th grade Humanities, U.S. History, and 
Advanced Placement Law and Government. Outside of the classroom, 
members of the basketball and baseball team know him as ``coach.'' In 
his forty years of service, he has helped shaped young impressionable 
minds, providing them a firm educational foundation for success. He 
always encourages his students to chase their dreams and I know these 
young men have greatly benefitted from his teaching, wisdom, and 
insight. St. Mark's is a successful institution because of dedicated 
and caring teachers such as Mr. Cavitt.
  I admire him for his passion for teaching and ask my colleagues to 
join me in expressing our gratitude for his continued service. I 
congratulate Mr. Cavitt on reaching his forty-year milestone and wish 
him all the best.
