                       Thursday, October 21, 2021

  Mr. LEVIN of Michigan. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Ferndale Public Schools Superintendent Dania Bazzi, named by the 
Michigan Association of Superintendents and Administrators as 
Michigan's 2022 Superintendent of the Year.
  Since joining Ferndale Public Schools in 2017, and especially during 
the unprecedented 2020-2021 school year, Dr. Bazzi has demonstrated 
exemplary dedication to students, educators and the Ferndale community 
at large. Under her direction, Ferndale Public Schools has received 
awards for equity, innovation, and leadership. Dr. Bazzi is known for 
placing students and education professionals at the center of every 
decision, and for taking a systematic approach to uplift the needs of 
all students. She is making a remarkable impact on the Ferndale Schools 
community and is a major asset to public education in Michigan.
  It is gratifying to know that the hard-working and diverse Ferndale 
Schools community--all 3,000 students and the talented and caring 
education professionals who help them to ``Fly High''--are in the very 
capable hands of Dr. Dania Bazzi. I am truly proud to have the honor of 
recognizing Dr. Bazzi for being named Michigan's 2022 Superintendent of 
the Year, and I invite my colleagues to join me in congratulating her 
and the entire Ferndale Public Schools community for this impressive 
achievement.
