HONORING THE CAREER OF CARLA DOLES
______
HON. JIM BANKS
of indiana
in the house of representatives
Thursday, June 24, 2021
Mr. BANKS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the career of Carla Doles. Carla just retired after 44 years of service as a public-school teacher and show choir director. All 44 years of her career as an educator were in northeast Indiana.
She was a beloved figure of her community, wielding a profound and lasting influence upon students across two school districts for more than two generations. 27 years of her career were spent at Carroll High School in Fort Wayne; the other 17 at Norwell High School in Ossian.
Carla's love for her vocation and devotion to her students' future was evident every single day. That love and devotion inspired the confidence of many of her students to compete in choral and other national competitions across the country.
It was also evident in her desire to create new opportunities for students. Carla helped found the small mixed (men & women) division of show choirs.
I wish Carla the best for all that she has done after a long and distinguished career. This is a testament to her service and selflessness for which Fort Wayne, Ossian and the entirety of our region is grateful.
