        IN RECOGNITION OF THE CAREER OF GEORGE ``TONY'' MORRISON

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. WILLIAM R. KEATING

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 10, 2019

  Mr. KEATING. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the 
retirement and service of George Morrison, a treasured principal who 
has impacted the lives of innumerable students at Dennis-Yarmouth 
Regional High School.

  Morrison is a Cape Cod native whose passion for giving back and heart 
for service led him to an enlistment with the U.S. Marines for four 
years before he returned to the Cape to pursue a career in education. 
Once back in Massachusetts, Morrison maintained a close working 
relationship with the military, continuing to serve under the Army 
National Guard's Aviation branch during his tenure as an assistant 
principal. In 2005 Morrison was called to Iraq and Kuwait, where he 
would serve nearly 18 months with the 3rd Battalion 126th Aviation 
Regiment.
  While serving his country on a national scale, Morrison also 
maintained a personal connection with the student body of Dennis-
Yarmouth Regional High School, where he served as assistant principal 
from 2001 until his promotion to principal in 2017. A certified social 
worker, Morrison's 18 years with the school have been defined by his 
ability to engage freely and openly with his students, a fact many of 
them have attested to. In his tenure with the Massachusetts school 
system, Morrison has truly gone above and beyond the role of 
administrator by fostering a space where his students can not only 
learn, but truly grow.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor the retirement of George ``Tony'' 
Morrison and offer my sincere gratitude for his dedication to improving 
the lives of those in our community. I ask that my colleagues join me 
in thanking him for his service and wishing him all the best in the 
years to come.
