                      TRIBUTE TO MARY ALICE ZETTEL

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, I pay tribute to Mary Alice Zettel 
of Bardstown, KY, on being recognized as one of the Nation's top 
principals in the 2003 National Distinguished Principal Program by the 
U.S. Department of Education.
  The annual National Distinguished Principals Program was established 
in 1984 to honor elementary and middle school principals who set high 
standards for the pace, character, and quality of the education their 
students receive.
  Ms. Zettel, a principal at Holy Trinity Parish School in Louisville, 
KY, has been recognized by the U.S. Department of Education for her 
tireless work in exhibiting excellence at Holy Trinity Parish School 
and has made outstanding contributions to the Louisville community. It 
has been said when entering Holy Trinity Parish School you will hear 
Ms. Zettel's laughter and happiness throughout its hallways. Ms. Zettel 
sets an example of excellence for the rest of the faculty, and the 
faculty follows that example, and she inspires her students to achieve 
academically and contribute to the community.
  I now ask my fellow colleagues to join me in thanking Mary Alice 
Zettel for her dedication and commitment to the education of America's 
future. In order for our society to continue to advance in the right 
direction, we must have principals like Mary Alice Zettel in our 
schools and communities.
