  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Patricia Guth 
being named the Pennridge Citizen of the Year.
  Dedicated to education and administration; Dr. Guth began her 
teaching career in the Central Bucks School District and in 1958 began 
teaching in the Pennridge School District. Throughout her career with 
the Pennridge School District, Dr. Guth was the director of Elementary 
Education as well as the Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum & 
Instruction.
  In addition, Dr. Guth was the author and model presenter of 
Alternative Teaching Strategies for the federal grant awarded to the 
Pennridge School District.
  In 1992 Pennridge School District Board of Directors, rededicated 
Perkasie Elementary School as Dr. Patricia A. Guth Elementary School. 
Patricia A. Guth Elementary School is a fitting tribute to Dr. Guth's 
work and the dedicated faculty and staff who have shaped it over the 
last five decades.
  Dr. Guth is an example of countless individuals who have served their 
community professionally and continue to contribute their experience, 
time and service through their retirement years. Dr. Guth, has set the 
bar for citizenship and service for which others should aspire to.
