                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 14, 2005

  Ms. HART. Mr. Speaker, I would like to tale this opportunity to 
recognize Quaker Valley High School on being named one of Newsweek 
Magazine's top American Public High Schools.
  Quaker Valley High, located in Leetsdale Pennsylvania, was recognized 
for its high academic standards and student scores on Advanced 
Placement tests. The school's Superintendent, Jerry Longo, takes pride 
in the fact that Quaker Valley offers its students a ``well rounded 
curriculum, that combines traditional academic courses with the arts 
and sciences, technology, community service and a second language.'' 
The students of Quaker Valley also display a well rounded attitude with 
80% of the student body participating in extracurricular activities.
  I ask my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives to 
join me in honoring Quaker Valley High School on this wonderful 
achievement. It is an honor to represent the Fourth Congressional 
District of Pennsylvania and a pleasure to salute the achievement of 
such a fine institution that plays such a vital role in the development 
of the future leaders of tomorrow.
