                         Tuesday, June 7, 2016

  Mr. POE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize the fine 
career and outstanding public service of my friend, Dr. Guy Sconzo. Dr. 
Sconzo has devoted four decades to the education of our nation's youth; 
beginning as a teacher and then working as an administrator. He is 
retiring after leading Humble Independent School District for the last 
15 years as Superintendent. He has devoted his life to education and 
bettering our community, and it is with great pleasure that I express 
my admiration and gratitude for his lifelong service. I offer him my 
utmost congratulations for his long and successful career.
  Dr. Sconzo began his career as a teacher--in his home state of New 
York--after graduating from Wagner College in 1973. He then earned his 
Master's Degree at New York University, and his doctorate at Ohio State 
University. He served in many different teaching and administrative 
roles in New York, Ohio, New Jersey, and Oklahoma. He then made one of 
the best decisions of his life, he moved to the great State of Texas in 
2001 as Superintendent for Humble ISD.
  During his career, he has achieved numerous awards and recognition at 
the local, state and federal level for his leadership and hands-on 
involvement in the success of the students at Humble ISD. In 2013, he 
earned Superintendent of the Year by Region 4 and last year he led 
Humble ISD to being named the Best Large District in Texas by H-E-B 
Excellence in Education Awards. His dedication has earned him the 
respect and admiration of the teachers, staff and students under his 
supervision as well as the community. His intellect, eagerness, and 
vision will be sincerely missed by not only Humble, but the many other 
communities that he has touched.
  Dr. Sconzo is a dedicated family man, having been married to his wife 
Diane for 41 years, and the proud father of two adult children; Michael 
and Jennifer. Dr. Sconzo and Diane are looking forward to traveling and 
spending time with their four grandchildren.
  On behalf of the Second Congressional District of Texas, I commend 
this remarkable leader for his exemplary service and dedication to the 
State of Texas. I thank him for a job well done and I wish him the best 
of luck in the future as he enters into this new phase of life.
