                        RECOGNIZING PAUL KREBBS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. NITA M. LOWEY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, February 27, 2012

  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Paul Krebbs 
for a life's work in Catholic education that has had a significant 
impact on countless students, families, and fellow educators. On 
Wednesday, January 25, 2012, Mr. Krebbs was honored by the White House 
as a ``Champion of Change,'' and today it is our privilege to echo this 
commendation.
  For nine years, Paul Krebbs has served his community with distinction 
as the President of All Hallows High School in the Bronx, New York. In 
his capacity as President, Mr. Krebbs has also served as the 
institution's CEO and has worked tirelessly to maintain the standards 
of excellence that have come to be associated with All Hallows High 
School. All Hallows routinely places its entire graduating class, which 
is 98% students of color, into four-year colleges.
  During Mr. Krebb's tenure at All Hallows, the school's academic 
standards and Catholic identity have been maintained while enrollment 
has steadily increased. Meanwhile, the school has become financially 
stable and self-sufficient.
  Beyond All Hallows, Mr. Krebbs has contributed his passion for 
education by founding the Office of Educational Development at the 
Archdiocese of New York. As the White House declared last month, 
champions like Mr. Krebbs, ``inspire all of us to build up our 
communities and our Nation's young people.''
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to recognize my constituent, Paul Krebbs, for 
his remarkable service to All Hallows High School and his lifelong 
commitment to enriching the lives of others through education and self-
betterment. I urge my colleagues to join me in honoring his 
accomplishments and thanking him for his tremendous contributions.
