  Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Dr. Jerry W. 
Roy on receiving the Annual Silver Eagle Award. The award will be 
presented to Dr. Roy by the Longhorn Council, Boy Scouts of America, on 
April 29, 2008.
  The Annual Silver Eagle Award is presented to individuals who exhibit 
excellence in their selected field and have embodied the Boy Scout Oath 
and Law in their personal and professional lives. Each year the honoree 
is someone who has shown dedication to improving their community, an 
important aspect of the morals and values of scouting.
  Dr. Roy has served as the Superintendent of Schools for Lewisville 
Independent School District since June 2001. Prior to joining 
Lewisville ISD, Jerry served Goose Creek CISD in an array of positions 
ranging from teacher and coach to Superintendent over the course of 28 
years.
  Dr. Roy received his bachelor's and his master's degrees from Eastern 
New Mexico University and his doctorate from Baylor University. Among 
his many achievements, Jerry was named a Select Distinguished Alumnus 
by Baylor University in 1996 and is a recipient of the Texas 
Superintendent of the Year Award by the Texas Association of School 
Administrators.
  Madam Speaker, today it is my honor to recognize the achievements of 
Dr. Jerry W. Roy. He has demonstrated a level of commitment and 
accomplishment that is truly extraordinary, and deserves our sincere 
appreciation and respect. It is a privilege to represent Dr. Roy in the 
26th District of Texas. I look forward to observing the positive impact 
he will continue to have on our children's educations, both now and in 
the future.
