           PAYING TRIBUTE TO ST. JOHN NEUMANN CATHOLIC SCHOOL

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 21, 2002

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is with great honor I take this 
opportunity to recognize St. John Neumann as an institute of education, 
dedicated to providing a firm foundation for its community's youth. 
Established in 1977 in Pueblo Colorado, St. John became the new beacon 
of light for all who sought to provide their children with the option 
of a private education. It is with highest praise that I recognize St. 
John's 25th year of operation.
  Each day, 230 students convene to mature and study in an atmosphere 
which embraces every child's eagerness to learn. Instructors provide a 
one-on-one relationship with students, tailoring the instructor's 
dexterity to the child's ability. Additionally, St. John promotes 
parental involvement in their child's education, and seeks to provide 
an atmosphere comparable to that of a family gathering.
  Marking St. John Neumann's 25th anniversary of operation, this year's 
graduating class will be prepared for the journey ahead, confidently 
supported by a firm education at an extraordinary school. Many senior 
administrators have watched St. John grow and develop into a 
distinguished, highly acclaimed establishment within its community.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I applaud an institution 
which provides its community with the groundwork to build a better 
future. St. John Neumann strengthens the integrity and character of 
each of its students. I commend the hard work and diligence which the 
faculty, community, and students have contributed to place St. John 
Neumann Catholic School amongst the leaders in education today.
