                   COMMENDING UPLAND CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. GARY G. MILLER

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 11, 2000

  Mr. GARY MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise to commend Upland 
Christian School, of Upland, California, on its recent accreditations.
  For over two decades, Upland Christian School has based its classes 
on the premise that the Bible is the literal truth. In addition to 
teaching the typical courses, such as English, math, and history, 
Upland Christian School has taught that there are absolutes in the 
world. This combination of religion within academia has attracted a 
steady increase in enrollment, from a handful of students to its 
current enrollment of 650 students.
  In addition to celebrating the graduation of its third senior class, 
Upland Christian School can now boast of its accreditation by the 
Association of Christian Schools International and the Western 
Association of Schools and Colleges. Neither accreditation is an easy 
feat; both require arduous curricula reviews and proof that the school 
is meeting stringent standards.
  The teachers, students, parents, school board members and 
administrators of Upland Christian School deserve high accolades for 
this achievement.
  I commend Upland Christian School for its commitment to high 
standards, quality teaching, and its adherence to God's law.
