  Mr. CARNAHAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr. Maureen 
Clancy-May, and honor her for her years of service to the people of the 
St. Louis area.
  Dr. Clancy-May has achieved many milestones during her 33 years in 
education. She received her Bachelor's in Teaching Exceptional Children 
from Southeast Missouri State University, her Masters of Education from 
the University of Missouri-St. Louis, and her Ph.D. from Saint Louis 
University in Educational Administration. Dr. Clancy-May then applied 
her knowledge as a teacher, a Director of Student Services, a 
Principal, and as an Assistant Superintendent for schools across the 
St. Louis area. She has also shared her knowledge and experience with 
other educators as an adjunct professor in the Education Leadership 
Department at Saint Louis University.
  Since July 1, 2004, Dr. Clancy-May has worked as the Superintendent 
of Schools for the Bayless School District. There, she led the Bayless 
School District to achieve full accreditation and Missouri's 
Accreditation with Distinction. Under her guidance, Bayless Elementary 
School and Bayless Junior High earned both the Missouri and the 
National School of Character awards. Her determination to improve her 
school district resulted in numerous awards for the district, as well 
as a $1.5 million math and science grant.
  In addition to her work in education, Dr. Clancy-May supports her 
community in many ways. She is an active member of the Rotary Club of 
St. Louis County and the Lemay Chamber of Commerce, and has served four 
years on the Board of the Affton Community Chamber of Commerce. She is 
a member of numerous education organizations, serving as a 
representative on the Missouri Association of School Administrators' 
Executive Committee and as the president of the Cooperating School 
Districts of the Greater St. Louis Area's Board. Dr. Clancy-May has 
also been recognized for her many accomplishments, including: being 
awarded with the FOCUS St. Louis What's Right with the Region Award; 
Hardee's Hometown Hero Award; and the Southeast Missouri State 
University Alumni Merit Award.
  Dr. Clancy-May has dedicated much of her life to serving the St. 
Louis community. I congratulate Dr. Maureen Clancy-May for her devotion 
to one of the nation's most important professions: educating our 
children and preparing them for a responsible and productive adulthood.
