[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 154 (2008), Part 8] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page 11193] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]PAYING TRIBUTE TO SUSAN SEGAL ______ HON. JON C. PORTER of nevada in the house of representatives Tuesday, June 3, 2008 Mr. PORTER. Madam Speaker, it is my distinct pleasure to rise today to honor my friend Susan Segal by entering her name in the Congressional Record, the official record of the proceedings and debates of the United States Congress since 1873. Today I pay tribute to Susan Segal for her service as an educator in the Nevada education system for over twenty five years. Susan has served the Las Vegas community since she began serving the Clark County School District in 1983 when she aided non-native English speaking students. Her dedication to educating Nevada's youth continued with teaching jobs at both Western High School and Chaparral High School. Susan then transitioned into administrative positions, working as the dean of students at Basic High School in 1994 and later as assistant principal at Desert Pines High School. In 2002, Susan was appointed principal of Basic High School. Susan has become a commanding figure at Basic High School, where she can often be seen taking a direct interest in students' welfare and seeking advice and opinions from fellow staff members. Since her installment as principal, she has implemented the Upward Bound Program, accompanied the Spanish Club to Mexico and the ``We the People'' students to Carson City. She initiated regular meetings with the Advisory Council for the Law, Justice, and Public Service Institute. She has also acquired the proper funding to open the Dr. Joel and Carol Bower School-Based Health Center on the Basic High School campus. Susan's devotion to the Clark County School District has expanded her students' high school experiences as well as Nevada's educational system as a whole. Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor Susan Segal. Her dedication to enriching lives through education has touched countless Nevadans. I applaud her efforts and wish her the best in her future endeavors. ____________________
