                HONORING THE CAREER OF DR. SCOTT ROBISON

 Mr. YOUNG. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize Dr. Scott 
Robison, who is retiring after more than 40 years educating Hoosier 
children.
  Dr. Robison hails from New Albany, IN, and earned his bachelor's 
degree in education from Indiana University in 1980. His career began 
as an elementary teacher in New Albany-Floyd County schools, as well as 
MSD Pike Township in Indianapolis. He then served as a principal in 
Southwest Allen Schools in Fort Wayne and as the founding principal of 
Pike Township's New Augusta K-8 Academy. He later became assistant 
school superintendent in Westfield Washington Schools before becoming 
superintendent of Marion-Adams Schools in Sheridan. In 2006, he was 
named superintendent of Zionsville Community Schools. After 16 years in 
the district, he is retiring this month.
  Dr. Robison is an innovative leader. In the 1990s, he pioneered 
practices such as in-district school choice, alternative school 
calendars, multi-age classrooms, and parent/community partnerships that 
are now well-established practices in schools across the State. He is 
known as a tremendous recruiter and developer of educators, many of 
whom have benefited directly from his wisdom and inspirational 
leadership.
  Throughout his tenure, Dr. Robison has never lost his own love of 
learning. He earned an M.S. from Indiana University in 1986 and a Ph.D. 
from Purdue University in 2003. He has also served on countless boards, 
commissions, and committees throughout the years and even refereed high 
school and college basketball games for 20 years. It is my honor to 
thank Dr. Robison for his tireless devotion to the children of Indiana, 
and all Hoosiers join me in wishing him a restful retirement.
