  The H-E-B Excellence in Education Award recognizes the outstanding 
teachers, principals, and students of Humble ISD.
  Humble ISD has announced that they will dedicate the $100,000 award 
to innovative education grants which are awarded to teachers through 
the Humble ISD Education Foundation. As a former teacher, and husband 
and father of teachers, I understand the hard work it takes to achieve 
such an honor.
  Congratulations to the outstanding students and teachers of Humble 
ISD. The people of the Humble and Houston community are fortunate to 
have such a school district.
  And that's just the way it is.
