  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Northwest High 
School, located in Justin, Texas, which has recently been selected as 
an Intel and Scholastic School of Distinction.
  The Intel and Scholastic School of Distinction award recognizes 
schools that demonstrate excellence in implementing innovative programs 
to promote positive educational results. A total of 60 finalist schools 
across the nation were selected from 10 distinguished categories. 
Northwest High School has been selected for the Excellence in 
Leadership category that commends the influential effort of their 
dynamic leaders.
  I extend my sincere congratulations to Northwest High School and to 
its principal, Jim Chadwell, for receiving this distinguished award 
given by the Intel Innovation in Education initiative and Scholastic 
Inc. Education is one of the most important gifts we can give our 
children, and Northwest High School has admirably contributed to the 
future of excellence in education.
