  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to Honor Arthur Kubic, 
Principal of John C. Dore Elementary School in Chicago, Illinois. 
Principal Kubic recently announced his retirement following a career 
lasting nearly four decades.
  Arthur Kubic was born and raised in the City of Chicago. He attended 
St. Simon the Apostle School and Thomas Kelly High School in Chicago's 
Southwest Side. He began his teaching career in 1968 after graduating 
from Northern Illinois University, and in 1977 he earned his Master's 
Degree from Roosevelt University.
  Arthur Kubic, a champion for the hearing-impaired, taught sign 
language for twenty-five years in the Adult Education Department at 
Morton Community College in Cicero, Illinois.
  In 1990, Arthur Kubic became the principal of Dore School. Since that 
time, he launched full-time kindergarten classes and the Full Inclusion 
Program which teaches students with disabilities in regular-education 
classes with their peers. His efforts on behalf of the children of 
Chicago Public Schools are truly appreciated.
  I ask my colleagues to join me today in recognizing the many 
achievements of Principal Arthur Kubic. It is my honor to acknowledge 
Arthur Kubic for his outstanding leadership and commitment to public 
service, in the City Chicago and the Third Congressional District of 
Illinois.
