  Mr. WELLER. Mr. Speaker, today I'd like to honor the great 
achievement of Lincoln-Way High School District 210 and its outstanding 
recognition by Money magazine and Redbook magazine.
  This national commendation demonstrates the excellence of Lincoln-Way 
High School--something in which this community prides itself. The 
parents, teachers, students and community all deserve a thanks for 
their hard work and dedication to providing a quality education and for 
producing young people who are mentally ready to meet their next 
challenge.
  Redbook honors Lincoln-Way High School as part of its America's best 
schools project. And, in the category of excellence in parenting/
community involvement, Lincoln-Way was the only school from Illinois 
chosen. This in itself is very impressive and I am very proud to 
represent a community where academic excellence is a high priority.
  Nearly 400 schools were nominated for recognition in one of six 
categories and a panel of judges chose only 155 winners. Truly this is 
an honorable distinction for Lincoln-Way High School and those 
involved.
  I would like to congratulate everyone associated with Lincoln-Way 
High School--this award is well deserved and should be shared by all. 
It is my great honor to represent a community that is so involved in 
the education of its children.
