  Mr. TIPTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Curtis Wilson, a 
dedicated educator and principal of Centauri High School in La Jara, 
Colorado. In recognition of his continued excellence, the Colorado 
Association of Secondary School Principals has selected Mr. Wilson as 
the 2014 Colorado Principal of the Year.
   This highly competitive award is based on personal excellence, 
collaborative leadership, curriculum, instruction, assessment and 
personalization of learning for students. In every one of these 
criteria, Mr. Wilson far exceeds expectations. Students and teachers 
alike praise Mr. Wilson's ability to motivate students to never settle 
for less than their best. Centauri High School is located in the second 
most impoverished county in Colorado providing a number of challenges 
including tight budget restraints. Despite these challenges, under Mr. 
Wilson's leadership, the students of Centauri High School achieve 
strong academic results.
   Mr. Speaker, it is truly a privilege to honor Mr. Wilson for his 
outstanding performance and leadership. Through his dedication to 
excellence, he continues to inspire his students. I congratulate Mr. 
Wilson on his selection for this prestigious award, and thank him for 
his continued service to his students.
