  Ms. HARMAN. Mr. Speaker, today, I wish to salute Calle Mayor Middle 
School in Torrance,

[[Page E1008]]

CA, on being selected for a Department of Education Blue Ribbon School 
Award. Calle Mayor Middle School was 1 of only 266 schools in the 
Nation recognized for outstanding achievement by the students, 
teachers, and staff, and an education environment of the highest 
quality.
  The Department of Education awarded Calle Mayor the highest rating in 
areas such as instructional leadership, curriculum, student 
environment, and parent and community support. Let me note that Calle 
Mayor's programs to introduce students to technology and computers will 
equip our next generation to fill the high-skill, high-wage jobs in an 
area I often refer to as the aerospace center of the universe.
  I congratulate Calle Mayor principal, Mary Lou Ryder, Torrance 
schools superintendent, Arnold Plank, and school board trustees, Dr. 
William Blischke, John Eubanks, Gary Kuwahara, Heidi Ashcraft, and Beth 
Wilson. And I especially congratulate the students and teachers of 
Calle Mayor for setting an excellent example for other schools to 
follow. I am proud that Calle Mayor is located in the 36th 
Congressional District of California.
