  Mrs. CAPITO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Mount Nebo 
Elementary in recognition of their achievement as an ``exemplary'' 
school.
  Mount Nebo Elementary has been selected as one of the top 50 schools 
of West Virginia. ``Exemplary'' status is based on Stanford Achievement 
Test results, attendance, drop out rates, and writing exam scores.

  I commend the leadership and faculty on their dedication to the 
children that walk through their doors each day. They have set an 
incredible example for the other 817 schools in West Virginia.
  I equally commend the students and parents of Mount Nebo Elementary 
for their commitment to a quality education and a bright future.
  Efforts to bring superior education to all of West Virginia and 
America are among our top priorities. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues 
to join me in honoring Mount Nebo Elementary.
