after 38 years of exemplary public service. She earned her first of 
many degrees at Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches. From 
there, she went onto the University of Texas at Tyler to obtain her 
master's degree before finally earning her doctorate from Baylor 
University.
   Dr. Reddell began her education career as a teacher and has capably 
served in multiple capacities including diagnostician, assistant 
principal, principal, gifted and talented program consultant, and 
adjunct college professor. She is retiring from Lewisville ISD as the 
Associate Superintendent for Learning and Teaching, a position she has 
held for the last six years. Her areas of responsibilities have 
included: Strategic Design implementation, Curriculum and Instruction, 
Special Education, Early Childhood, Literacy Intervention, Program 
Evaluation, District Grant Writing, Gifted and Talented, Advanced 
Academics, Assessment and Accountability and Federal Programs, ESL, 
Dual Language, Bilingual, and World Languages. Dr. Reddell's leadership 
has had a positive and profound impact on all the programs that she has 
overseen.
   As Dr. Reddell retires, her commitment and hard work on behalf of 
the students and faculty of Lewisville ISD will be greatly missed. 
After almost four decades as an educator and administrator, Dr. Reddell 
retires as a professional beloved by her colleagues and leaves an 
indelible mark to be emulated. It is a privilege to honor such an 
esteemed constituent in the U.S. House of Representatives.
