                        Thursday, July 28, 2005

  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, today, I ask my colleagues to join me in 
honoring several schools in Tennessee's 7th Congressional District that 
have been ranked among the best in the Nation.
  Both Brentwood High School and Franklin High School were found to be 
exemplary by Newsweek magazine.
  Brentwood High School, home of the Bruins, lives up to its mission 
statement of ``Excellence through teaching and learning.''
  Few communities are fortunate enough to have one school noted for 
distinction, but we have been blessed with two.
  Franklin High School, home of the Rebels, was also credited by 
Newsweek for providing a quality education and giving our kids a great 
start.
  Mr. Speaker, these schools deserve our congratulations for their 
commitment to our community, and for planting the seeds of knowledge 
that will help make these students lifelong learners.
  All of us should offer our thanks to Principal Kevin Keidel of 
Brentwood High School and Principal Willie Dickerson of Franklin High 
School for their hard work and dedication.
