  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to extend my heartiest 
congratulations to Mr. Craig Swallow, of the Green Valley High School. 
Mr. Swallow has been selected as a Semifinalist of the National Council 
of Economic Education (NCEE)/Nasdaq National Teaching Awards. This 
achievement recognizes high school teachers for their originality, 
creativity, and effectiveness in furthering students' awareness of 
financial markets, the process of capital formation, principles of 
investment, personal finance, entrepreneurship, and the operation of 
market economies.
  This recognition, and Mr. Swallow's place among the twenty finest 
high school educators in this field, gives credit not only to this fine 
teacher's outstanding capabilities, but also his dedication, in 
equipping his students for success in a highly-competitive, 
economically-complex professional environment. This achievement 
demonstrates Green Valley High School's commitment to provide our 
students with the comprehensive and rigorous curricula that will ensure 
the achievement of their future goals.
  Mr. Swallow's teaching abilities are an example to all parents, 
teachers, and students. By gaining this prestigious professional 
accolade, Mr. Swallow becomes an example of the potential towards which 
all teachers can strive as they impart the most beneficial forms of 
knowledge to our children. I am proud to represent teachers like Mr. 
Swallow, whose dedication and knowledge, guarantee the future success 
of Green Valley High School, Henderson, Clark County, and all of 
Nevada.
