                              of kentucky

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 5, 2007

  Mr. LEWIS of Kentucky. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to 
Dr. Fred P. Carter, a resident of my congressional district who 
recently announced his plans to retire as Superintendent of the Glasgow 
Independent School District.
  For the past 34 years, Dr. Carter has made educating the children of 
the Commonwealth his top priority. The Glasgow School District has 
experienced remarkable growth during his tenure resulting in steady 
student grade improvement. Student performance on Kentucky's CATS test 
has improved each of the five years he was in charge, climbing into the 
state's top ten three years ago. Dr. Carter also oversaw the 
construction of the Highland Elementary School in Glasgow and the 
instillation of interactive classroom technology in every school across 
the district.
  In retirement, Dr. Carter plans to concentrate on other aspects of 
his life including his faith and his family. On behalf of countless 
friends and neighbors in the Glasgow area, I would like to thank Dr. 
Carter for his many selfless years of service to Kentucky school 
children.
  It is my great privilege to recognize Dr. Fred P. Carter today, 
before the entire House of Representatives, for his indelible 
contributions to the Barren County community. He is an outstanding 
American worthy of our collective honor and appreciation. I ask my 
colleagues to join me in wishing Dr. Carter a very happy and healthy 
retirement.
