                       TOP PRINCIPALS IN GEORGIA

  (Mr. PRICE of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PRICE of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to honor a few 
of Georgia's top educators. The following principals, Robin Lattizori 
of Mt. Bethel Elementary School, Angela Bailey of Mountain View 
Elementary School, Ron Wade of Centennial High School, Dr. Michael 
Johnson of Kell High School, and Dr. Edward Spurka of Roswell High 
School, all have been named one of the top 10 principals in Georgia by 
the State's PTA.
  These principals do not just teach; they reach. They inspire students 
and teachers, and they encourage our kids and our teachers and our 
parents to work in concert, resulting in more of our young people 
expanding their horizons and their dreams.
  Mr. Speaker, as we all know, teaching is more than reciting material 
out of a textbook and hoping that students absorb the information, and 
being a principal is more than making certain the doors open on time. 
The love, dedication, and inspiration these leaders display on a daily 
basis set them apart. They are the energy behind the bright lights of 
our education system and are working to nurture tomorrow's leaders.
  To each of them I send a hearty congratulations and thank you; but 
most importantly, your students, their parents, and the teachers thank 
you for the passion with which you do your job. Well done.
