                        Thursday, March 24, 2022

  Mr. GALLAGHER. Madam Speaker, today I rise to honor the distinguished 
career of retiring Luxemburg-Casco Superintendent, Glenn Schlender.
  During his 37-and-a-half year career in education, Mr. Schlender has 
held numerous leadership roles in our education system. He has 
undoubtedly made a lasting impact at each stop during his distinguished 
career. Mr. Schlender began his career in 1985 as a science teacher in 
the Green Bay School District, which was followed by taking the role of 
assistant principal at Green Bay Preble High School. He then joined the 
Pulaski School District as the principal at Pulaski High School for 7 
years before moving to the Palmyra-Eagle Area School District and 
assuming the role of

superintendent in 2009. In 2014, Mr. Schlender moved to his final stop 
at the Luxemburg-Casco School District.
  During his time at Luxemburg-Casco, Mr. Schlender added to his 
already lengthy list of accomplishments from his time in education. Mr. 
Schlender's leadership and knowledge lead to the expansion and 
implementation of not only the physical spaces within the Luxemburg-
Casco School District but also countless learning opportunities for 
students. Since assuming his role at Luxemburg-Casco, the school 
district has been recognized as a top 10 high school academically 
within the Green Bay metro area. Mr. Schlender's commitment and 
dedication to the Luxemburg-Casco school district is truly remarkable.
  In addition to academics, Ms. Schlender played a critical role in 
developing partnerships with community members and local businesses 
such as Bellin Health, D&S Machine Service, and the Northeast Wisconsin 
Manufacturing Alliance. These partnerships lead to the institution of 
career-readiness programs, including the Ahnapee Regional Youth 
Apprenticeship Program, which has offered students the opportunity to 
gain on-the-job work experience in the classroom. Mr. Schlender spent 
his entire career ensuring that students throughout Northeast Wisconsin 
have the resources they needed to succeed. Mr. Schlender's expertise 
and knowledge will surely be missed by his peers and the entire 
Luxemburg-Casco community.
  Mr. Schlender is leaving behind a notable legacy that will be admired 
by educators for years to come. After retirement, Mr. Schlender and his 
wife plan to stay in the Luxemburg-Casco community and I am confident 
that he will continue to be a valuable member to the Northeast 
Wisconsin community. Mr. Schlender's distinguished career is deserving 
of the highest degree of recognition.
