  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize the 
outstanding achievement of Dan Anderson of Blue Springs, Missouri. Dan 
was the principal of the Blue Springs Freshman Center in Blue Springs, 
Missouri, and is the Missouri Association of Secondary School 
Principals' Principal of the Year. This prestigious award recognizes 
Dan's ability to excel and impact in the ever-demanding role of 
principal and lead educator in all aspects of education.
  Mr. Speaker, Dan's impact in the areas of collaborative leadership, 
curriculum, instruction and assessment, and his personalization of the 
learning environment are stellar and recognized by his fellow 
educators, parents, and community. The selection was made from more 
than 600 high school principals throughout the Great State of Missouri. 
The Blue Springs Freshman Center is unique with 1,100 freshmen students 
within the Blue Springs School District. Dan was able to effectively 
position the talent of his team, motivate excellence in his school's 
curriculum, and clearly communicate purpose with the families and 
community in Blue Springs.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you join me in applauding Dan Anderson's 
outstanding professionalism and commitment to educating the American 
youth. I join with Dan's colleagues, family, friends, and students in 
congratulating Dan on his outstanding achievement, and wish him good 
luck in his future endeavors.
