                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, June 7, 2018

  Mr. BUCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the accomplishments 
of the Liberty Common School in Fort Collins, Colorado, under the 
leadership of former U.S. Representative Bob Schaffer as their 
principal and headmaster.
  Liberty Common is an exemplary charter school, consistently earning 
among the very highest standardized test scores in the state of 
Colorado. Just this year, Liberty Common was ranked by U.S. News & 
World Report among the top public high schools in both the state and 
the nation.
  Mr. Schaffer represented Colorado's 4th Congressional District from 
1997 to 2003, consistently demonstrating exemplary leadership and 
integrity on Capitol Hill while serving his constituents. During his 
time in Congress, Mr. Schaffer worked passionately on education policy, 
fighting for school-choice. Starting in 2010, Mr. Schaffer served as 
the principal of the Liberty Common High School, and earlier this year 
became the headmaster of the school's complete K-12 offerings.
  On behalf of the 4th Congressional District of Colorado, I applaud 
Mr. Schaffer and his colleagues at the Liberty Common School for such 
an outstanding record of excellence. We look forward to their continued 
success as they educate and prepare the next generation of Coloradans 
for a prosperous and successful future. It is this investment in our 
children that makes the work of educators like those at Liberty Common 
so valuable to our state. Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to celebrate the 
achievements of the Liberty Common School.
