                     SALUTE TO NORTHERN HIGH SCHOOL

 Mr. SARBANES. Mr. President, I rise today to pay tribute to 
the young men and women of Northern High School, who on October 18, 
1994, plan to dedicate a new environmental center in Calvert County, 
MD.
  Four years ago, the students of Northern High School were given 1,000 
juvenile rockfish to grow until they were ready to release back into 
the wild as part of the Department of Natural Resources' Raise and 
Release Program. This was the Department's first school-based project 
of its kind. Because of the dedicated efforts of these students, the 
program received significant praise from the community and substantial 
media attention. As a result, the program has grown and evolved over 
the past few years and parents, local businesses and county, State, and 
Federal agencies have now become involved.
  Northern High's enthusiasm, commitment, and success eventually 
allowed the Raise and Release Program to prosper and develop into a 
permanent environmental center for Calvert County and the State of 
Maryland.
  Mr. President, I am very pleased to have this opportunity to honor 
the outstanding efforts of Northern's students and faculty and members 
of the Calvert County community who have volunteered countless hours of 
their time and effort in making this center a reality.
