                75TH ANNIVERSARY OF ST. ROSE HIGH SCHOOL

 Mr. TORRICELLI. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize St. 
Rose High School as it celebrates its 75th Anniversary. This year marks 
the 75th year the high school will provide quality education to 
students in and around the Belmar area. It is a pleasure for me to 
recognize this important milestone.
  St. Rose exists to educate high school age men and women so that they 
may realize their spiritual, academic, and social potential. St. Rose's 
mission, since beginning as a parish school in 1923, emanates from a 
tradition of Roman Catholic education administered by the Sisters of 
St. Joseph of Chestnut Hill. The staff of religious and lay faculty is 
responsive to the needs of a changing world. They have created a safe, 
supportive, disciplined atmosphere and curriculum that honors and 
nurtures the dignity, worth and capabilities of each student. The 
alumni go on to assume positions of leadership within their communities 
and professional fields.
  This school has become an extraordinary educational institution that 
has improved the quality of life for the citizens of New Jersey, and it 
has long

been an example of the standard that we set for our nation's high 
schools. Through hard work and dedication, the faculty have illustrated 
their commitment to building the leaders of tomorrow, and their success 
over the past 75 years serve as an inspiration to all educators.
  I am proud to recognize St. Rose on its anniversary, and I look 
forward to another 75 years of quality education from this 
institution.
