                      Wednesday, September 8, 2004

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is a privilege to rise before this body 
of Congress and this nation to recognize the dedication of Kendall 
Evans of Aspen, Colorado for his hard work and dedication in educating 
our youth. After serving nine years as the principal for Aspen High 
School, Kendall announced his retirement after the completion of the 
2004-2005 academic year. As Kendall prepares for retirement, let it be 
known that I, along with the Aspen community am grateful for the 
commitment he has shown to educating our next generation of leaders.
  Kendall started his career in education as a high school teacher 
thirty-one years ago. After spending much of his career positively 
influencing students in the classroom, he had the opportunity to have a 
different impact working in administration. Nine years ago, Kendall 
accepted the job as the principal at Aspen High School. During his 
tenure as principal, Kendall has led the charge to improve the quality 
of and access to education in the area. Following his lead, the school 
added accelerated classes as part of the International Baccalaureate 
program. His most significant achievement was to complete the forty-one 
million dollar renovation and expansion of the high school.
  Mr. Speaker, Kendall Evans has done a remarkable job during his 
career at Aspen High School. As principal, he has provided tremendous 
leadership for the faculty, and as a teacher, he has provided insight 
for his students. I thank him for his commitment to education, and wish 
him all the best in his last year at Aspen High School.
