  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a

University in Guidance Counseling, and later a Specialist in 
Educational Leadership from Jackson State University. Currently, Mrs. 
Brown is enrolled at William Carey University where she has completed 
all coursework and is working on the final two chapters of her doctoral 
dissertation.
  Mrs. Brown has served the educational community in Jefferson County 
since August 1998. She is known to have unique distinction of serving 
educationally from multiple perspectives. She was initially hired in 
the school district as a high school English teacher. After years 
progressed teaching ninth and twelfth grade English for four years, 
Mrs. Brown worked as the high school counselor and test coordinator for 
five years. During the time as a high school counselor Mrs. Brown 
became a certified school bus driver. It was at the culmination of five 
years as a high school guidance counselor that Mrs. Brown moved into 
service as a school administrator. She started her administrative 
career at the Jefferson County Elementary School as assistant

Elementary principal and during her tenure it led her to the 
appointment as the district's School Improvement Officer and Curriculum

Mrs. Brown returned to a high school and junior high school-based 
administrative leadership.
  Mrs. Brown has worked with the Mississippi Department of Education 
and was selected as a Mississippi Teacher Fellowship participant, as 
well as a 2017 Prospective Superintendent Leadership Academy completer.
  Mrs. Brown is committed to improving students educational outcomes at 
her school and she fully embraces their theme, ``Inspiring Excellence 
and Promoting Success''.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Mrs. 
Faye Brown for her hard work and dedication in the Jefferson County 
School District.
