| superintendent of the Anthony Independent School District in 2013; | ||
| and | ||
| WHEREAS, Since assuming his present post in 2007, Mr. Haugen | ||
| has sought to achieve an educational environment in which every | ||
| student receives instruction tailored to meet his or her individual | ||
| needs; in addition to significant investments in classroom | ||

| buildings; the district is also planning a ribbon-cutting ceremony | ||
| in August to celebrate the extensive renovation of its athletic | ||
| stadium; and | ||

| graduating from college in 1975, he joined the Gadsden district as a | ||
| social studies teacher and a track and football coach; he went on to | ||
| serve as athletic director and as assistant principal at Gadsden | ||
| High School, then as a middle school principal and an elementary | ||
| school assistant principal in Canutillo; he returned to the Gadsden | ||
| district to become a high school principal, and he subsequently | ||
| served as superintendent of the Gadsden ISD from 2001 to 2007; and | ||
| WHEREAS, This esteemed educator earned a bachelor's degree in | ||
| history from Arizona State University and a master's degree in | ||
| education administration and supervision from The University of | ||
| Texas at El Paso; he has held memberships in a number of | ||
| professional organizations and has served on the board of directors | ||
| of the Texas Rural Education Association, Cooperative Educational | ||
| Services, and the New Mexico Activities Association; in recognition | ||
| of the outstanding skill with which he carried out his | ||
| responsibilities, he was nominated for the 2006 New Mexico | ||
| Superintendent of the Year award; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Through his exemplary leadership and unwavering | ||
| commitment to the highest educational standards, Ronald Haugen has | ||
| contributed immeasurably to advancing the missions of the districts | ||
| in which he has worked, and he has helped countless area | ||
| schoolchildren to acquire a strong academic foundation; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
| Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate Ronald Haugen | ||

| School District and extend to him sincere best wishes for continued | ||
