  Mr. TIPTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Kevin Jones, a 
dedicated educator and principal of Center High School in Center, 
Colorado. In recognition of his continued excellence, the Colorado 
Association of Secondary School Principals has selected Mr. Kevin Jones 
as the 2015 Colorado High School Principal of the Year.
  Mr. Jones earned this competitive award achieving many successes 
despite the challenges of a rural and bilingual institution. Six out of 
the last seven years have seen the school earn the Colorado Department 
of Education's Center of Education Excellence while simultaneously 
earning the Colorado Education Initiative's Healthy Schools Champion 
Award for 4 consecutive years. Mr. Jones' leadership and personal 
attention to each student along with constructive assessment of 
teachers and the curriculum on a regular basis has enabled Center High 
School to rise considerably above academic standards in the state.
  Mr. Speaker, it is truly a privilege to honor Mr. Jones for his 
enthusiasm and ability to inspire students and his staff. His 
dedication to teaching and his desire to excel as an educator and 
leader continue to benefit his community. I congratulate Mr. Jones on 
his selection for this prestigious award.
