R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Carol Lala of Victoria is retiring from the Goliad
Independent School District on May 26, 2017, drawing to a close an
exemplary career in education that has spanned four and a half
decades; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Lala earned her teaching degree from Sam
Houston State University in 1972, and later that year, she joined
the faculty at Goliad Elementary School, embarking on what would
become a long and rewarding tenure with the district; a designated
bilingual instructor, she has transitioned easily between teaching
kindergarten and first grade, always willing to serve where she was
most needed; and
WHEREAS, This outstanding educator has demonstrated an
unyielding commitment to academic excellence, as well as a genuine
concern for the well-being of her current and former students, who
often seek her out within the community years after leaving her
classroom; furthermore, she has gained the lasting respect and
admiration of her colleagues, to whom she has been a valued source
of wisdom and guidance; and
WHEREAS, In all her endeavors, Mrs. Lala enjoys the love and
support of her husband, Dennis, and she is the proud mother of two
daughters, Tiffany and Windy; in retirement, she looks forward to
traveling and spending time with her family; and
WHEREAS, Carol Lala embodies the compassion, dedication, and
spirit of service that are the hallmarks of a good teacher, and
though her presence will surely be missed at Goliad ISD, she may
reflect with pride on the positive difference she has made in the
lives of countless young Texans; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Carol Lala on her retirement from
the Goliad Independent School District and extend to her sincere
best wishes for the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mrs. Lala as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
