                    TRIBUTE TO KICKAPOO HIGH SCHOOL

   Mr. BOND. Mr. President, I rise today to pay special tribute 
to Kickapoo High School in Springfield, MO. On October 25, Kickapoo 
High School will celebrate its 25th anniversary. Since opening its 
doors in 1971, over 8,000 students have graduated from Kickapoo High 
School, and about 75 percent of those graduates have gone on to attend 
college.
  These graduating students have attained many honors and excelled in 
many areas ranging from earning exceptional scholastic achievements to 
participating in community service programs for credit. Students have 
also benefited from independent study programs in advanced and 
specialized fields, foreign language programs, and the Career Center 
and the Learning Resource Center designed for students with special 
needs.
  Kickapoo High School was designated by the U.S. Department of 
Education as a secondary school that represents educational excellence. 
It has received a AAA classification by the Missouri State Department 
of Elementary and Secondary Education. I commend Kickapoo High School 
for its dedication to providing the highest quality education to our 
young people. I also congratulate the men and women educators for 25 
years of service and wish them only success in the next 25 
years.
