             CONGRATULATING ELEVENTH DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOLS

  (Mr. GINGREY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GINGREY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in praise of three very 
impressive schools in my district, Columbus High School, LaGrange High 
School, and Campbell High School, which were selected by Newsweek 
magazine among the top high schools in America.
  To have three Eleventh District schools included on this prestigious 
list speaks to the dedication and accomplishments of our district's 
educators, students, and community members.
  As the former chairman of the Marietta City School Board, I know the 
great work that goes on in our school districts. I am glad the rest of 
the Nation finally knows about it as well.
  LaGrange High School has a long tradition of providing students with 
the kind of education that truly helps our children succeed in life.
  Columbus High School traces its history back to the 1890s, so it is 
no wonder the school is a perennial education all-star; practice makes 
perfect.
  Campbell High School has upheld the standard of excellence in Cobb 
County for years, its teachers, staff, and students showing a 
relentless ambition for achievement, and, just last week, hosted our 
Vice President for a discussion on Social Security.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in congratulating these 
schools.
