  Mrs. MYRICK. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize one of the 
schools in my district, Providence High School. The Providence Varsity 
and Junior Varsity Lacrosse Teams have recently been admitted into the 
North Carolina High School Lacrosse Association, a prestigious group of 
schools competing in one of the fastest growing sports in the country. 
This is a great honor for Providence, because it is the only High 
School in the Charlotte Mecklenburg School System to be admitted to 
this Association, It also shows the commitment and dedication of the 
coach, the parents, and the players at Providence.
  The coach of the Providence lacrosse team, William Humphrey, does an 
excellent job with the students. He focuses on teamwork, discipline, 
and the importance of academics. Due to Coach Humphrey's excellent 
coaching skills, Providence has had a number of outstanding and 
successful lacrosse seasons.
  The parents are also hugely important to the success of this program. 
Their commitment to their children and the sport are the reason why the 
program continues to have success every year. In addition, the students 
involved in this program should be recognized for their commitment to 
academics and lacrosse. Each year students on the lacrosse team 
graduate and go on to many prestigious colleges, many of which have 
leading lacrosse programs.
  I congratulate Providence High School lacrosse team on their 
achievement of being admitted to the North Carolina High School 
Lacrosse Association, and I wish them many successful seasons.
