                        HONORING BARBARA DUBLER

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 28, 2015

  Ms. FRANKEL of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Barbara 
Dubler of Boynton Beach and to congratulate her on her retirement after 
forty years of dedicated service to the children of Florida.
  A Bronx native, Mrs. Dubler moved to South Florida in 1960 and later 
became an educator after graduating from the University of Florida. 
Since then, she has worked tirelessly to inspire and educate her 
students. After nearly twenty years teaching in the Dade County Public 
Schools, she moved in 1993 to Palm Beach County to continue her work as 
a teacher, most recently at the Woodlands Middle School in Lake Worth, 
Florida. During her tenure at Woodlands, she primarily taught sixth and 
eighth grade English, and consistently produced some of the best-
performing students in the county. Over the course of her career, Mrs. 
Dubler also served as the Chair of the English Department and ran a 
high school drama program, which she considers one of her fondest 
memories. Barbara's efforts have not gone unnoticed. In 2000, Mrs. 
Dubler was the recipient of the Social Studies Teacher of the Year 
Award for Palm Beach County.
  Dedicated teachers like Mrs. Dubler are the backbone of the American 
education system. Throughout her career, she worked tirelessly to 
foster a positive class environment, while keeping her students engaged 
and eager to learn both inside and outside of the classroom. She truly 
serves as a model for other educators to emulate.
  As a loving mother and wife, Barbara is still happily married after 
twenty-nine years to her husband Dr. Gary Dubler, and they have one 
son. In her free time, Barbara enjoys reading, traveling, and going to 
the theater.
  In honor of her tireless work to educate our children, I am proud to 
recognize Barbara Dubler and to thank her for her forty years of 
service to our children. I wish her good health and a well-earned 
retirement.
