                          Tuesday, May 8, 2018

  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
remarkable public servant, Ms. Angela Christena Jones who was born May 
6, 1976, the third of four children to Robert B. Chambliss and Martha 
Doris Jones. Angela was a faithful member of Fairfield Missionary 
Baptist Church where she served in the Gospel Choir.
  Angela was an honor student while attending Jackson Public Schools 
and a proud graduate of Wingfield High Schools, Class of 1994. Angela 
served as salutatorian of her graduating class. After high school, 
Angela attended the University of Southern Mississippi and earned a 
Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration-Marketing 
Management (1998) and a Master of Science Degree in Business Technology 
Education (1999). Furthering her love and passion for education, she 
later enrolled at Jackson State University and earned a Master of 
Science Degree in Education Administration and Supervision (2002).
  She served in many capacities to include the most current, Executive 
Director for Curriculum and Instruction for High Schools with Canton 
Public Schools. Angela was not only a life-long educator, but she honed 
her craft and skills by affiliating with professional organizations 
that promote self-development, service to mankind, and spiritual growth 
that enlightened, inspired and empowered all. Some of her fond memories 
will be remembered by her sorors of the Jackson (MS) Alumnae Chapter of 
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.; her sisters of the Metro Jackson 
Section of the National Council of Negro Women; National Coalition of 
100 Black Women Inc.; friends of Jackson State University Alumni 
Association and University of Southern Mississippi Alumni Association; 
Mississippi of School Superintendents (MASS).
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Ms. Angela 
Christena Jones for her dedication to serving.
