   CELEBRATING 100 YEARS WITH THE EVERMAN INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. MICHAEL C. BURGESS

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 15, 2006

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Everman 
Independent School District as they celebrate their 100th anniversary 
of providing quality education for its students. The Everman School 
District has been a fixture in southwest Fort Worth since 1906.
  The School district was first established in 1906 when the Enon 
School and the Antioch School consolidated to make the Everman School. 
After the merger the School district prospered, experiencing massive 
growth in the community as well as the student body population.
  During its 100-year history, Everman ISD has earned state and 
national recognition in academics, athletics, fine arts, leadership, 
and service disciplines.
  The mission of Everman Independent School District is to provide all 
students with an educational program which allows them to develop their 
full potential intellectually, physically, and socially in order to be 
responsible citizens and contributing members of society. With a 
century of success behind them, I am more than confident that Everman 
ISD will continue to educate and inspire the young adults that walk the 
halls of their schools.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I stand here today and honor 
the 100th anniversary of the Everman Independent School District for 
their dedication and continuing commitment to education in Everman, 
Texas.
