  Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the retirement of 
one of my constituents, Ms. Denise Jones.
  Ms. Jones is retiring this May after 50 years of service to the 
public education system in North Texas.
  A lifelong resident of Haltom City, Texas, Denise grew up attending 
public schools around her including WT Francisco Elementary, Haltom 
Middle School, and Haltom High School.
  As a senior at Haltom High School in 1972, Denise joined the staff 
and never looked back. For the first 25 years, she faithfully served 
the Birdville Independent School District as a district administrative 
assistant. Then, in 1998, Denise joined the special education 
department where she has been a loyal servant for the past 25 years.
  As a former schoolteacher and daughter of an educator, I know 
firsthand how important the of work our public servants is. Denise's 
achievement of working in public education for 50 years is truly 
impressive and reflects her unwavering dedication to helping shape the 
minds of future generations. Her impact will be felt for many years to 
come.
  Again, I want to congratulate Denise on her retirement from Birdville 
Independent School District and wish her the absolute best.
