                      Wednesday, November 29, 2023

  Mr. GUEST. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of William C. 
``Bill'' Wade. Bill Wade passed away on September 29, 2023, in 
Gulfport, Mississippi, at 74 years old. He was a dedicated family man 
and friend.
  Bill was a committed member of Bear Creek Baptist Church and served 
as a deacon for many years. His faith was important to him, and the 
members of Bear Creek were well served under his leadership.
  Bill retired from education in 2013. He taught school at Louisville 
Municipal School District and made a difference in the lives of many 
students throughout his teaching career. Serving as a principal at the 
Kosciusko Public School, Bill led the school and eventually the school 
district as superintendent of education. He also worked in the Union 
Public School District and the Polk County School District in Tennessee 
as superintendent of education.
  Bill's legacy in education continued after his retirement when he co-
founded Performance Based Education Company, LLC, which helps students 
maintain achievement progress by adding capacity and working with 
school districts to improve their student achievement. Bill worked as 
the vice president, contract manager, marketing specialist, and program 
developer.
  Mr. Speaker, I am thankful for the opportunity to memorialize the 
life and legacy of William Wade. Bill has made an impact on the lives 
of students throughout Mississippi and Tennessee. His impact will be 
felt for generations to come. His loss will be felt by all those who 
have been under his leadership.
