                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. BENNIE G. THOMPSON

                             of mississippi

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 9, 2024

  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
remarkable servant, Tamla Hughes.
  On April 20th Tamla was chosen as a state finalist for the 2024 
Teacher of the Year award.
  Tamla Hughes teaches 10th through 12th grade English. She is the 
president of the Zeta Delta Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Sorority and 
is a very active teacher and parent of the Natchez Adams School 
District.
  With hard work and dedication, her philosophy is ``As a teacher, I 
may not be able to change the world but if I can reach one child, 
perhaps that child can.''
  Natchez High has never had a Teacher of the Year from Natchez Adams 
School District advance to the next level.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Tamla 
Hughes for her actions and achievements in the Natchez, MS community.
