R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The principal of Hyer Elementary School in the 
Highland Park Independent School District, Dr. Louis Powers, is 
retiring at the end of the 2002-2003 school year, bringing to a 
close a distinguished career in public education that has spanned 
more than four decades; and
	WHEREAS, Dr. Powers has served as Hyer Elementary's principal 
for 18 years, earning the respect of educators, students, and 
parents alike for his leadership and vision; under his able 
guidance, the school has twice been named to the "honor roll school" 
list of the Texas Business Education Coalition and the Just for the 
Kids program, and the Texas Education Agency has awarded the school 
"exemplary" status every year since the state implemented its 
current rating system; and
	WHEREAS, Dr. Powers, who helped establish the Highland Park 
I.S.D. Academy of Lifelong Learning in 1998, is an accomplished 
administrator who has served as a mentor and role model to his 
colleagues; an active member of countless professional 
organizations, he has won widespread acclaim for his work in behalf 
of both teachers and students, and his contributions to the field of 
public education have given generations of young students a strong 
foundation on which to build; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby congratulate Dr. Louis Powers on the occasion of 
his retirement as principal of Hyer Elementary School and extend to 
him warmest best wishes for continued happiness and success in his 
future endeavors; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Dr. Powers as an expression of high regard by the Texas 
House of Representatives.
