  RECOGNIZING PRINCIPAL GRANT HANEVOLD OF SUNRISE MOUNTAIN HIGH SCHOOL

  (Mr. HARDY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HARDY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize high school 
principal of the year for 2015, Grant Hanevold of Sunrise Mountain High 
School in Las Vegas.
  I have always believed that providing the Nation's youth with a 
quality education is one of the best investments that we can make to 
ensure that this century is yet another American century.
  Principal Hanevold represents the spirit of service that is often 
missed at too many of our Nation's schools. He understands that 
educators must invest time and effort in their communities which they 
serve.
  By incorporating teachers, parents, and community members into the 
decisionmaking process, Principal Hanevold was able to get everyone to 
buy in on his vision and take pride in what they were accomplishing 
together. This established a culture of success at Sunrise Mountain 
that ultimately led to a remarkable 13 percent increase in graduation 
rates.
  Congratulations to Nevada's principal of the year, Grant Hanevold.
