  Mr. STARK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Ms. Lee 
Stevens-Glover, who is retiring on June 18, 2008 after 36 years of 
service in music education in the city of Fremont, California. Ms. 
Stevens-Glover has inspired young voices at Irvington High School from 
1972 through 2004 and at Mission San Jose High School from 1982 through 
2008.
  Ms. Stevens-Glover's exemplary career as a vocal specialist started 
in 1968 as a graduating senior from Mission San Jose High School, when 
she was presented with the Bank of America Achievement Award Plaque for 
Fine Arts. Her excellence in education has earned her many awards and 
honors. The recognition she has received includes the Distinguished 
Teacher in Presidential Scholars Program from former President Bill 
Clinton, the Outstanding Teacher of the Year Award from the Fremont 
School Management Association, the Outstanding Alumni Teacher of the 
Year Award from California State University in Hayward, the Excellence 
in Education Award from the Fremont Education Foundation, and the Don 
Gercich Award for Outstanding Service to Mission San Jose High School.

  On June 15, 2008, a concert and reception will be held to honor Ms. 
Stevens-Glover's distinguished career in music education. She has 
provided a wealth of music education to students through the years, 
which has enriched their lives immeasurably. I join the community in 
thanking Ms. Stevens-Glover for her dedicated efforts, her inspiration 
and commitment to all those who were fortunate to be the beneficiary of 
her extraordinary teaching skills.
