                      RECOGNIZING MR. JEFF JACKSON

  (Mr. PRICE of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. PRICE of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, it's with great pride that I rise 
to recognize Mr. Jeffrey Walter Jackson of the Sixth District of 
Georgia upon his retirement as Head of School for the Mount Vernon 
Presbyterian School in Sandy Springs, Georgia.
  Jeff Jackson has been a dedicated and visionary leader. He challenges 
himself and all around him to dream big dreams, work diligently on 
positive goals, and inspires a servant's heart.
  During his tenure, since 2002, at Mt. Vernon, Mr. Jackson introduced 
honors and advanced placement courses, expanded the sports program to 
31 teams, and fostered varied activities including a debate team and 
the Fellowship for Christian Athletes. He oversaw the establishment of 
a new Upper School to serve 9th through 12th grade students and a 30-
acre expansion of the campus.
  In his faithful commitment to the values of Christian education, Mr. 
Jackson has been a role model for teachers, administrators, community 
leaders, but especially students. And now he will further his positive 
influence as the executive director of the Georgia Independent School 
Association.
  Mr. Speaker, our community and this Congress commend Jeff Jackson for 
his continuing and exemplary service and extend to him our very best 
wishes in his new role.
