  Mr. UPTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise tonight to offer heartfelt 
congratulations to Tom Miller. Throughout his career, Tom Miller has 
constantly demonstrated a commitment to the educational and athletic 
development of the future leaders of our society. His professional life 
has consisted of numerous positions of leadership at various schools in 
Southwest Michigan, including his current post as principal of St. 
Joseph High School, which he has served for over 23 years. Tom's 
dedication to the enhancement of the educational experience of young 
people is a truly noble quality, and one that will be sorely missed.
  Additionally, Tom's involvement in the athletic arena of the school 
system has earned him a place in the Battle Creek St. Philip High 
School Athletic Hall of Fame. Tom spent numerous years involved in 
student athletics, his basketball teams enjoying a host of victories 
during his tenure. I would like to wish the best of luck to Tom in his 
retirement, which will allow him to spend the coming years with his 
family, including his wife Mary Lou and all of his loved ones.
