                       RECOGNIZING MIKE VUCKOVICH

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to give a 
special shout-out to Mike Vuckovich, superintendent of the Indiana Area 
School District.
  Mike was recently recognized as one of America's Superintendents to 
Watch for 2020. He was one of only 24 recipients to receive this 
recognition and the only Pennsylvanian.
  Mike has been on the job just 2 years but recently was recognized by 
the National School Public Relations Association as a 2020 
Superintendent to Watch. The organization selects superintendents from 
across the country who ``demonstrate dynamic, fast-paced leadership 
with strong communication at its core.''
  This is exactly what Mike has done with his time at Indiana Area 
School District.
  Mike has been a champion for digital technology and online 
communication throughout the district, investments that have clearly 
come in handy in the age of coronavirus. The district's new website and 
social media accounts have been a useful tool to keep parents, 
teachers, and students on the same page during what has undoubtedly 
been a hectic and stressful school year.
  I thank Mike for his drive, dedication, and initiative, and I am 
pleased to have a leader like Mike in Indiana County.
