     HONORING ILLINOIS ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL OF THE YEAR SHERYL GRAY

  (Mr. HULTGREN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. HULTGREN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize a caring and 
innovative educational leader from Illinois' 14th Congressional 
District.
  For her hard work, Sheryl Gray was named Illinois Assistant Principal 
of the Year by the Illinois Principals Association.
  Since she began at Prairie Trail School in Wadsworth, she has created 
and implemented fresh ideas that bring together students and their 
families in education.
  Her brainchild Partnership and Achievement Lead to Success, or PALS, 
has been extremely successful in educating and empowering at-risk 
children. She has also devoted her time to improving Prairie Trail 
School's special education program and increasing school attendance by 
supporting families who are in need.
  A servant to the Lake County community, Sheryl Gray is an inspiration 
to her students and to the next generation of educators.
  With more leaders like Sheryl in schools, all of our children will be 
able to reach their true potential.
