                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 3, 2003

  Mr. COBLE. Mr. Speaker, Northwest Guilford High School has a 
reputation throughout North Carolina as an excellent academic 
institution. As the winner of North Carolina's ``We the People: The 
Citizen and the Constitution'' competition, Northwest Guilford has once 
again proven itself as a first-rate academic institution. Upon winning 
the North Carolina competition, a group of Northwest students 
instructed by Mr. Ray Parrish went on to compete at the national 
competition held in Washington, DC. The ``We the People'' program 
provides a forum in which high school students are tested and 
challenged on their knowledge of the United States Constitution. The 
Northwest team demonstrated an outstanding comprehension of the issues 
and the fundamentals of American government and represented the Sixth 
District with courage and pride.
  Congratulations to Mr. Parrish, Michael Bowles, Blair Brooks, Lauren 
Campbell, Marnie Cheshire, Jenny Cimaglia, Josh Clark, Kelly Crocken, 
Melati Crook, Nadia Eksir, Ricky Elmore, Kristin Forrest, Ken Gangong, 
Elias Hage, Shelly Hanks, Martha Heise, Haley Hoffman, David Holst, 
Taylor Johnson, Adam Kincaid, Heidi Kunkle, Carson Leach, Leigh Anna 
Pittman, Matt Rothkopf, Andrew Shoffner, Naresh Sundaresan, Anne Marie 
Wittmann, John Yeago, and Eliana Ziri. We would also like to thank 
State Coordinator Carleen Wray and District Coordinator Barbie Creech 
for their tireless efforts in supporting such a valuable program.
  The Sixth District would like to extend its congratulations to 
Principal Mrs. Anne Murr, the students, faculty, and families at 
Northwest Guilford High School. Your hard work and dedication are 
admirable and set an example for all of us. Once again, congratulations 
and ``Go Vikings''.
