  Mr. CONNOLLY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 2017-2018 
Prince William County Public Schools nominees for the Principal of the 
Year Award.
   Principals who meet the criteria for the award are those who

maintaining an open dialogue with students, parents, faculty, and 
staff, and exemplify commitment to providing a quality education for 
all students to learn and develop. The selected winner will be named 
the Prince William County Principal of the Year.
   As the second largest school division in the Commonwealth of 
Virginia, Prince William County Public Schools educates 90,000 students 
in ninety-eight schools, including sixty elementary schools, sixteen 
middle schools, twelve high schools, one Governor's school, three 
special education schools, one nontraditional school, two traditional 
schools, two special site schools, and one K-8 school.
   I extend my personal congratulations to the following 2017-2018 
Prince William County nominees for Principal of the Year Award:
   Andrew Buchheit, T. Clay Wood Elementary School
   Robert Eichorn, New Directions (Independence Nontraditional School)
   Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in commending the 
nominees for 2017-2018 Principal of the Year Award in Prince William 
County, and in thanking them for their dedication and leadership to the 
students, teachers, and faculty to ensure a bright future for all who 
pass through the doors of their schools. Their continued service is 
truly commendable and worthy of the highest praise. I thank them for 
ensuring our Prince William County students are provided a world-class 
education in a vibrant learning community.
