                    IN HONOR OF DR. BRADLEY S. REITZ

                                 ______


                         HON. JAMES H. BILBRAY

                               of nevada

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, August 11, 1994

  Mr. BILBRAY. Mr. Speaker, it is with immense pride that I rise today 
to honor an educator who has continually given both time and effort to 
the Las Vegas community. The outstanding individual that has earned my 
utmost respect is Dr. Bradley S. Reitz, current principal of the 
Bartlett Elementary School.
  Dr. Reitz earned his bachelor's degree in special education at 
Glassboro State College in 1977. He later completed his master's degree 
and his doctorate in educational administration at the University of 
Nevada, Las Vegas, in 1981 and 1986, respectively. He and his wife, 
Diane, have a 3-year-old daughter, Alexandra.
  The National Distinguished Principals Program reflects the key role 
that a principal plays in shaping the learning environment within a 
school. Dr. Reitz has earned this award through his demonstration of 
strong educational leadership, recognition of the critical importance 
of the first years of schooling, and strong pursuit of excellence.
  Dr. Reitz has performed a wide variety of tasks, which include 
training for elementary principals and central office personnel on 
student data bases, spreadsheets, and telecommunications as well as 
other aspects of computer use. He also has been the coordinator of the 
``Restructuring Public Education'' Conference. Under his direction and 
leadership, Harley Harmon Elementary School was nominated for the 
National Blue Ribbon Schools Award. Dr. Reitz' examples of service and 
achievements are above and beyond what is expected of an elementary 
school principal.
  Dr. Brad Reitz is an individual who makes a difference in our schools 
and the lives of young people. It is my honor to congratulate Dr. Reitz 
for his achievements, and thank him on behalf of my constituents for 
his continuing efforts.
