       IN RECOGNITION OF THE HORIZONS-ON-THE-HUDSON MAGNET SCHOOL

                                 ______


                        HON. MAURICE D. HINCHEY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 6, 1994

  Mr. HINCHEY. Mr. Speaker, it is an honor and a privilege to bring to 
your attention a ceremony which will take place on October 26, at which 
the Horizons-On-The-Hudson Magnet School for the Gifted and Talented 
will receive a 1993-94 Blue Ribbon National School of Excellence Award.
  This is the second time in the last 5 years that the Horizons-On-The-
Hudson School, which is located in my district in Newburgh, NY, has 
been selected by the Department of Education in recognition of its 
excellence in leadership, teaching, curriculum, student achievement, 
and parental involvement. The award serves as an affirmation of the 
effectiveness of the school's mission. That mission is defined by the 
belief that all children can and will learn in an environment which 
nurtures each individual's unique gifts and talents in order to assure 
that each child is challenged to reach his or her own personal best.
  The Horizons-On-The-Hudson Magnet School is a community of learners 
working in a vital, creative, exciting, child-centered environment. I 
am proud to have the school in my district and I ask that my colleagues 
join me in congratulating its students, teachers, administration, and 
parents on their well-deserved national recognition.

                          ____________________
