  Mr. GIANFORTE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Gordon 
Klasna on his recent selection as the Montana Principal of the Year by 
the Montana Association of Secondary School Principals.
  Mr. Klasna has been principal of Lockwood's Eileen Johnson Middle 
School since 2011. Founded in 1954, it provides an education to over 
1,250 students. Mr. Klasna is passionate about educating Montana's 
students and is a positive influence on his students. He is renowned as 
a hard worker who dedicates much of his time to his vocation. Mr. 
Klasna is a strong advocate for his school, serving on the School 
District 2 High School Trustee Board representing Lockwood.
  Teachers and students at Eileen Johnson Middle School describe Mr. 
Klasna as a gracious, polite public servant who demonstrates his 
passion to help students every day. During his tenure as principal, Mr. 
Klasna has encouraged the growth of special elective courses to include 
robotics and journalism.
  I wish Mr. Klasna the very best as he works to continue the pattern 
of excellence at Eileen Johnson Middle School. He is a great example of 
an educator going the extra mile to help our children succeed. I ask 
that my colleagues join me today in congratulating Gordon Klasna on his 
outstanding achievement.
