Harlandale Independent School District Board Member Tomas Uresti, of my 
Congressional District for a lifetime of distinguished public service.

currently serves as Secretary of the Board. Mr. Uresti is a committed 
servant to the community of Harlandale, and has served as Board 
President, Building Committee Member, and Policy Committee Member.
  Over the last 25 years he has committed his time to coaching the 
students of the community in softball, basketball, and baseball. He has

School, and Harlandale High School.
  Along with his many accomplishments to the people of Harlandale 
Independent School District, Tomas Uresti has six children and one 
granddaughter with his wife Rosemary, three of which are graduates of 
Harlandale High School.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to have had this opportunity to honor Tomas 
Uresti for his hard work and contributions to the community.
