   HONORING DR. DARRELL JOHNSON, SUPERINTENDENT OF GREENWOOD SCHOOLS

  (Mr. BARRETT of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BARRETT of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, Dr. Darrell Johnson, the 
superintendent of Greenwood School District 50 for South Carolina, was 
quoted saying: ``I pledge to do the best I can and work together as a 
team.''
  I would like to honor Dr. Johnson during February's Black History 
Month as a very notable and distinguished African American who has 
heavily impacted the Third Congressional District of South Carolina. 
Dr. Johnson's extensive background and his many leadership positions as 
a teacher, coach and administrator has laid the groundwork for him 
being named to the position of district superintendent.
  Since 1991, Dr. Johnson worked for Rock Hill School District Three, 
beginning as assistant principal at the Rock Hill High School. After 
serving as assistant principal and principal for Sunset Park Elementary 
School, he moved to the district office in 1998 as director of student 
services. In 2001, he was named assistant superintendent.
  His dedication to making a difference in education propelled him to 
earn his superintendent position, and rightfully so. I congratulate 
Darrell Johnson for being able to excel in this capacity where he may 
apply his natural ability to lead those who are most important to our 
future, our students.
