      CONGRATULATIONS TO BLUE RIBBON SCHOOLS IN THE SIXTH DISTRICT

                                 ______


                         HON. JAMES E. CLYBURN

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, October 3, 1994

  Mr. CLYBURN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate three Sixth 
District Schools: Mitchell Elementary School in Charleston, SC, 
Greeleyville Elementary School in Greeleyville, SC, and Lake City 
Primary School in Lake City, SC for winning the U.S. Department of 
Education's prestigious Blue Ribbon School of Excellence Award.
  Mitchell, Greeleyville and Lake City Primary are among 11 elementary 
schools in South Carolina and 260 elementary schools in the United 
States to receive this honor.
  The Blue Ribbon Schools Program gives national recognition to a 
diverse group of public and private schools that are unusually 
effective in meeting local, State and national goals in educating all 
their students.
  These three schools were selected for this top honor because the 
leadership skills exhibited by school administrators, faculty and 
staff; the teaching and student environment; curriculum and 
instruction; organizational vitality, and parent and community support.
  Mr. Speaker, these schools and all the schools in South Carolina and 
around the Nation that were selected to receive this award, will serve 
as outstanding examples of what American schools can be when school 
administrators, teachers, parents and the community effectively combine 
their efforts for the education of our youth.
