  Mr. VELA. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor the distinguished career 
of Executive Director of Human Resources for San Benito Consolidated 
Independent School District (SBCISD), Margot Cisneros Torres who is 
retiring. As a director, principal, assistant principal, and educator, 
Mrs. Torres dedicated her life to bringing knowledge to others.
  Mrs. Torres received her Bachelor of Arts degree from The University 
of Texas Pan American and her Master of Education in Educational 
Administration from the University of Texas in Brownsville. She holds 
Provisional Secondary Teaching Certificates in Secondary English and 
Spanish Grades 6-12, Mild Management Certificate PK-12, and 
Professional Superintendent Certificate PK-12.
  Prior to serving as the Executive Director for Human Resources at 
SBCISD, Mrs. Torres worked for the Brownsville Independent School 
District for 26 years in many positions including high school English 
teacher, Assistant Principal, Human Resource Specialist, and Principal. 
Additionally, she served as a school principal at Point Isabel 
Independent School District for three years. Mrs. Torres will be 
completing an impressive 31 years in education upon her retirement at 
the end of this academic year.
  The presence of Mrs. Torres will be missed at San Benito Consolidated 
Independent School District, but her legacy as a leader will be felt 
for years to come. Please join me in wishing Mrs. Torres and her family 
all the best as she begins the next chapter in her life.
