                        Wednesday, May 19, 1999

  Mr. SCHAFFER. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to commend an outstanding 
Colorado high school student and leader. This Spring, Leah Nein of 
Julesburg High School, in Julesberg, Colorado, received the National 
Principal Leadership Award.
  Each year, the National Association of Secondary School Principals 
and Herff Jones Inc. presents the National Principal Leadership Award 
to 150 students nationwide. Recipients must demonstrate outstanding 
scholastics, leadership and student service throughout their high 
school years. As an added bonus, a $1,000 college scholarship is 
provided to help these students achieve their higher education goals.
  Among some of her accomplishments, Leah was class president three out 
of her four high school years, captained the volleyball team, and a 
Girls State Delegate. She has also received the Colorado School of 
Mines ``Medal of Accomplishment in Math and Science'' and the 
University of Colorado ``Outstanding Junior Award.'' This Fall, Leah 
plans to attend Colorado State University and major in Accounting.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to congratulate Leah Nein and all 
Principal Leadership Award winners. With confidence, I look forward to 
their leadership in America.
