CONGRATULATING PRINCIPAL STEVE HOPE, 2015 INDIANA HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL 
                              OF THE YEAR

  (Mrs. WALORSKI asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Principal Steve 
Hope of Penn High School in Mishawaka for earning the 2015 Indiana High 
School Principal of the Year Award by the Indiana Association of School 
Principals.
  For nearly 20 years Principal Hope has been more than just a teacher. 
He has been a mentor, support system, and friend to countless people.
  His passion for education has been instrumental in preparing young 
Hoosiers for so much success later in life. Since he became the 
principal in 2008, Indiana's Department of Education has named Penn an 
A-rated school and a 4-Star Award winner.
  He has taught students more than just curriculum. He has taught 
students life lessons they will remember forever.
  On behalf of the people of the Second Congressional District of 
Indiana, I heartily want to thank Principal Hope for being an 
inspiration to students and teachers alike. His dedication to providing 
a quality education to each Hoosier that crosses his path is such an 
inspiration to all of us in Indiana.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating Penn High School 
Principal Steve Hope on receiving this prestigious award.
