                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 10, 2000

  Mr. FROST. Mr. Speaker, I pay honor to the outstanding achievement of 
students and others associated with Duncanville High School in 
Duncanville, Texas.
  This school has been chosen by judges of the 17th Annual American Set 
a Good Example Competition to receive one of three national second 
place awards. These awards go to a school for a project done by 
students to influence their own peers in a positive way--away from drug 
abuse, crime and violence while forwarding commonly accepted moral 
values such as honesty, trustworthiness and competence. Additionally, 
Duncanville High School won the $2,500 Learning Improvement Award for 
the work students did on researching career information and determining 
a direction they want to pursue, including making resumes and 
completing Pell Grant applications, and writing for a minimum of five 
scholarships. Such projects enhance student opportunities, strengthen 
character and better prepare our young people for a positive future.

  I commend the students, principal, administrators, teachers and 
parents of Duncanville High School for a job well done in these 
successful projects.
