                       Thursday, November 5, 2009

  Mr. LINDER. Madam Speaker, it is with great honor and enthusiasm that 
I rise today to recognize Dr. Sheila O'Shea Kahrs, the Principal of 
Haymon-Morris Middle School in Winder, Georgia, who has been named the 
2010 MetLife/National Association of Secondary School Principals, 
NASSP, National Principal of the Year.
  The MetLife/NASSP National Principal of the Year program honors 
distinguished middle level and high school principals who have provided 
first-rate learning opportunities for students and made significant 
contributions to the education profession.
  Each state, the District of Columbia, and the Department of Defense 
Education Activity selects one middle level and one high level school 
principal to represent them. From these individuals, six finalists are 
chosen as candidates for the National Principal of the Year award. Dr. 
Kahrs distinguished herself from these outstanding educators and was 
chosen as the 2010 MetLife/NASSP National Principal of the Year.
  The Seventh District of Georgia is privileged to have such an 
accomplished educator serving our children. Extending my sincerest 
thanks to Dr. Kahrs for all her hard work and dedication to the 
profession of teaching, I wish her the best on her future endeavors.
