  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the public service of 
Mr. Gary Shafferman, Principal of Edward S. Marcus High School in 
Flower Mound, Texas and congratulate him on his retirement after a 
successful thirty-five year career in education. Upon retirement, his 
dedication and leadership will be greatly missed by his Lewisville ISD 
colleagues, as well as the students and parents he served so well at 
Marcus High School.
  Mr. Shafferman received his bachelor's and master's degrees in 
education from the University of North Texas. He began his career in 
education as a science teacher and coach in Grand Prairie ISD. Prior to 
spending ten years as principal at Marcus High School, he served at 
schools across North Texas as a coach, teacher, counselor, assistant

fostered close working relationships amongst community leaders, 
parents, and staff, and he has encouraged his students to pursue 
excellence and achieve their greatest potential.
  Please join me in recognizing Mr. Gary Shafferman, Principal of 
Marcus High School, for his commitment to the teaching profession, his 
sincere dedication to the education and well-being of his students, and 
his many years of exemplary public service. It is a privilege to
