                   TRIBUTE TO DUNCANVILLE HIGH SCHOOL

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. MARTIN FROST

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 8, 1997

  Mr. FROST. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate the cosmetology 
department students and faculty at Duncanville High School for winning 
first place in the national American Set-a-Good-Example competition. 
And I also congratulate Duncanville High School for their selection as 
this year's Learning Improvement Award winner.
  Duncanville High School is only the second school in the past two 
decades to win both these national awards in the same year. As a 
result, Duncanville High School will receive $7,500 in grant funds for 
these honors.
  Mr. Speaker, I would also like to commend the Concerned Businessmen's 
Association of America for sponsoring this competition and also Dr. 
Phyllis Mack of Savannah, GA, for funding these grants. With the 
program now in its 11th year, it is an excellent tool to recognize 
outstanding achievements in our public schools, and to reward that 
success with funding to help further enhance education.
  Mr. Speaker, I know that the young people of Duncanville High School 
worked hard to earn this recognition and by their participation have 
shown they can indeed take actions to better their own lives, their 
communities, and thereby improve the world we all share.
  Once again I would like to send my heartiest congratulations to 
Principal Mike Chrietzberg and all the teachers, parents and students 
who share in these incredible achievements.
