  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas.  Mr. Speaker, you know, Texas is home to 
great schools, great teachers, and great students.
  Today I would like to spotlight four outstanding seniors from Plano 
Independent School District who made perfect scores on their college 
entrance exams.
  It is estimated that they are in the top one-tenth of the highest one 
percent of all of the students taking these exams.
  Brent Flynn of the Plano Star Courier detailed these amazing students 
in the September 29, 2003 edition.
  Greg Bussell of Plano East Senior High School, Jennifer Wu of Plano 
West Senior High School, and Brian Young of Plano Senior High School 
all scored 1600 on their S.A.T.'s, while Jeffrey Lin of Plano West 
Senior High School received a 36, the highest possible on the A.C.T.
  In addition to smarts and savvy, they all shine outside the 
classroom. Both Jennifer and Jeffrey play the violin in the orchestra. 
Greg stars in a school play and Brian's on the school's academic 
decathlon team.
  Each principal had wonderful words for these students.
  Plano Senior High principal Dr. Doyle Dean said, ``Brian Young is an 
outstanding student. We at Plano Senior High are very proud of his many 
academic and personal accomplishments, including his perfect score on 
the S.A.T.''
  ``These are among some of the most extraordinary students in our 
State,'' said Dr. Michael McClellan, principal at Plano East Senior 
High.
  Phil Saviano, principal for Plano West Senior High School stated, 
``It's an exceptional achievement. It's rewarding to see their hard 
work pay off after their amazing public school careers.''

  These students are shining examples of the best and brightest in 
Texas and America. They deserve a Lone Star size applause. 
Congratulations. We are proud of you.
