 HONORING THE ALBA-GOLDEN INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT IN WOOD COUNTY, 
                                 TEXAS

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JEB HENSARLING

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, August 3, 2007

  Mr. HENSARLING. Madam Speaker, today I would like to honor the Alba-
Golden Independent School District in Wood County, Texas for excellence 
in education.
  Education is a fundamental part of the development of our Nation's 
youth. The Texas Education Agency recently released the 2007 annual 
performance ratings for schools across Texas. It is notable that the 
Alba-Golden school district was able to maintain its rating of 
``recognized''--which is the second-highest possible rating.
  Their performance illustrates the commitment and dedication of the 
administrators, teachers, and staff who provide students with a quality 
education. In particular, I would like to recognize the work of 
Superintendent Bill Steward.
  Madam Speaker, as the representative for Wood County, I would like to 
commend the Alba-Golden Independent School District for its continued 
achievements in education.
