                      OUTSTANDING SCHOOLS IN OHIO

  (Mr. CHABOT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CHABOT. Mr. Speaker, we all know the key to America's future is 
providing an excellent education for children. As a former school 
teacher myself, it gives me great pleasure to recognize two school 
districts located in my congressional district that truly live up to 
this commitment.
  Wyoming City School District was recently named the State's most 
outstanding school district, receiving the highest performance index 
score in Ohio's State report card. 100 percent of students tested were 
at or above the proficient level, and their high school graduation rate 
has reached 100 percent.
  The Oak Hills Local School District was also rated excellent, 
continuing in its long-standing tradition of academic excellence. 
Superintendent Patricia Brenneman has a lot to be proud of. With a 
graduation rate of 98.4 percent, Oak Hills boasts the highest rate of 
any high school its size in the entire State of Ohio.
  These numbers are a testament to the hard work and dedication of the 
teachers, administrators, parents, and last but not least, the students 
of Wyoming City Schools and the Oak Hill School District. I would like 
to congratulate both communities on this outstanding achievement.
