Summary

House Resolution No. 37, sponsored by Representative Cox, is a commendation dedicated to William Hymes for his notable contributions and accomplishments in education and public service. The resolution recognizes Hymes' lengthy tenure as an educator, teaching music within the Natchitoches Public School System for fifteen years and his advanced degrees in instrumental music education and educational leadership.
