                   CONGRATULATING DR. WILEY J. DOBBS

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. MICHAEL K. SIMPSON

                                of idaho

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 20, 2017

  Mr. SIMPSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Dr. Wiley J. 
Dobbs for 33 years of distinguished service educating Idahoans on the 
occasion of his retirement from his current position as Superintendent 
of Twin Falls School District.
  Dr. Dobbs' career as an educator is marked by a stalwart commitment 
to students across Idaho, particularly in Twin Falls. After serving as 
a high school teacher in Montpelier, Idaho, Dr. Dobbs returned to his 
hometown of Twin Falls to serve as an educator in both junior high 
schools and high schools, as well as a stint at the University of Idaho 
as an education instructor. After years in the classroom, Dr. Dobbs 
transitioned to the Twin Falls School District as Director of 
Operations in 2000. By 2003, he had accepted the position that would 
carry him to retirement: Superintendent of Twin Falls School District.
  Throughout his career, Dr. Dobbs has demonstrated a superior 
dedication to the lives of the students and families he serves. In 
fact, Dr. Dobbs spent much of his career creating opportunities for 
students outside the classroom by volunteering as an advisor to the 
Congressional Award program. With his help, the city of Twin Falls has 
garnered national recognition for the quality and quantity of students 
who earn their Congressional Award for an outstanding commitment to 
setting and achieving their goals.
  Mr. Speaker, I sincerely thank Dr. Dobbs for his service and 
commitment to education in Idaho. On behalf of a grateful state, I wish 
him well in the next chapter of his life.
