  Mr. BRALEY of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Kim 
Tierney on being selected as the Iowa Elementary Principal of the year. 
Kim serves as the principal at Denver Elementary School which is in my 
district. Kim was selected because of her leadership in implementing 
professional learning communities.
  Mrs. Tierney began her career as a teacher in the Waukee Community 
School District. She has been the Principal at Denver Elementary for 
six years. She received her bachelor's degree in elementary and middle 
school education from the University of Northern Iowa, and her master's 
degree in educational leadership from Iowa State University.
  Mrs. Tierney was selected for this award by a committee of Iowa 
elementary school principals. The National Association of Elementary 
School Principals will also honor her as a National Distinguished 
Principal this fall in Washington, D.C. Kim has proven that she is a 
leader at her school and throughout the Denver community. I'm proud to 
call her a constituent, and congratulate her on all of her success.
