  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this time to recognize 
the hard work and tireless dedication of Principal Ed Harris to 
Edwardsville High School. He was recently named Illinois Principal of 
the Year by MetLife and the National Association of Secondary School 
Principals. School District Superintendent, Ed Hightower, praised the 
principal's work. ``[Harris] has made positive changes at the High 
School and has proven quality leadership in this position''
  Ed Harris will continue his outstanding work this year at 
Edwardsville High School. His goals for the year will include 
maintaining the safety of students and staff, and ensuring that the 
administrators are visible and available to students.
  A principal like Mr. Harris shows us what a difference individual 
attention and caring can do for our schools and our children. I would 
like to thank him for his great contribution to the school and the 
community.
