                       TRIBUTE TO JENNIFER JAEGER

 Ms. CORTEZ MASTO. Mr. President, I rise to recognize one of my 
State's incredible educators, Jennifer Jaeger, who announced her 
retirement after almost three decades of work in the Clark County 
School District.
  A native Nevadan, Mrs. Jaeger was born and raised in Las Vegas and 
began her work in education at UNLV, where she earned a bachelor's 
degree in secondary education and a master's degree in middle level 
education and educational leadership. Since obtaining her educator 
license, Mrs. Jaeger has worked in four different Las Vegas schools in 
capacities ranging from dean of students to assistant principal to, 
presently, principal of the Robert O. Gibson Leadership Academy.
  Mrs. Jaeger has an accomplished history in serving Tier I, Title I 
schools and was recognized for her excellence in fostering a positive 
school culture and climate. During her time as principal, Robert O. 
Gibson Leadership Academy received several accolades, including being 
named a Magnet School of Excellence for the year 2020 and one of the 
first Purple Star Schools of Nevada for showing ``a commitment to 
understanding and addressing the unique needs of military-connected 
students.''
  Through her career, Mrs. Jaeger put immense focus on the well-being 
of her students, including through her work with low-income families to 
identify kids in need of new shoes. Her work has yielded annual 
benefits for students and families in need through the Warm the Soles 
program.
  I ask my colleagues to join in me celebrating the amazing work of 
Jennifer Jaeger. Her service to Nevada schools and the community at-
large has been exemplary and worthy of recognition.
