     RECOGNIZING DR. BRUCE LOCKLEAR, PRINCIPAL OF EDINA HIGH SCHOOL

  (Mr. PAULSEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. PAULSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Edina High School 
Principal Dr. Bruce Locklear, who was recently named the 2010 Minnesota 
High School Principal of the Year by the Minnesota Association of 
Secondary School Principals.
  Members of the association chose Bruce for his collaborative 
leadership style and his effort to create a more personal school 
environment, and those traits have certainly paid off. Under the 
leadership of Principal Locklear, Edina High School has gained praise 
and recognition, both in Minnesota and throughout the Nation. Edina was 
ranked among the top 2 percent of high schools in the Nation last year 
by U.S. News & World Report, and ranked 91st overall in the latest poll 
by Newsweek. Additionally, Edina has introduced several innovative 
education programs and a new student leadership program during his 
tenure.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to congratulate Dr. Locklear on this well-
deserved achievement.
