“I rise today in support of House Resolution 1652, celebrating National Principals Month, which was observed this October. With this resolution, we recognize the important roles principals play as leaders in our schools and in ensuring the best educational environment for our Nation's children. Most of us can recall a principal who made a difference in our lives. He or she was the one who walked down the hall, knew everyone by name and asked about our day. They let us know when we were out of line and smiled with pride at our success. Over the years, school leadership roles have broadened substantially to include increased emphasis on curriculum development, data analysis, and instructional leadership. They are tasked with complex problems such as facilitating systemic education reform while managing day-to-day school activities. Today, over 100,000 principals are supporting our Nation's students, teachers, and parents every day.”
