                   CONGRATULATING DR. JAMES CAPOLUPO

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. PATRICK MEEHAN

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, March 4, 2015

  Mr. MEEHAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate Dr. James Capolupo of 
Springfield, Pennsylvania for being named the Superintendent of the 
Year by the Pennsylvania Association of School Administrators.
  Dr. Capolupo began his career as a music teacher and band director 
before rising to serve as an administrator in the Springfield Township 
School District. His talents and dedication to his students led him to 
be named the district's superintendent in 2005. Under his leadership, 
the district has become a model for innovative and effective 
instruction. His reputation has spread beyond the district, with 
representatives from more than 120 other school districts having 
visited Springfield to learn more about Dr. Capolupo's methods.
  Dr. Capolupo earned national recognition last year when he was named 
a finalist for National Superintendent of the Year by the National 
Association of School Superintendents. This distinction is awarded to 
five superintendents around the country who have created a ``model of 
uncompromising dedication to literacy and academic achievement.'' So it 
is no surprise to learn of his recognition as Pennsylvania 
Superintendent of the Year.
  I wish to congratulate Dr. Capolupo and the entire staff at 
Springfield School District for their hard work on our children's 
behalf.
