  Mr. HURD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 100th 
Anniversary of Fort Stockton Independent School District, a premiere 
public school district dedicated to the education of students in West 
Texas.

  Fort Stockton Independent School District was approved in the 35th 
state legislature on May 17, 1917. It is now home to five public 
schools and over 2,500 students, teachers, and staff. Over the past 
two-and-a-half years, I have visited Fort Stockton Independent School 
District on numerous occasions. In fact, I was able to participate in 
the Coin Toss at a Panther football game this month.
  Today I applaud the graduates and countless faculty and staff members 
who have helped spread the knowledge, skills, and values they learned 
at Fort Stockton Independent School District with Texas, the United 
States, and the entire world. The positive impact of this public school 
system resonates across Texas' 23rd Congressional District.
