                        Thursday, March 30, 2006

  Ms. HART. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
congratulate the Highland School District for its nomination for the 
2006 Rising Star Award presented by People Do Matter, which is part of 
the Pittsburgh Human Resources Association.
  This award was given to the school district because they demonstrated 
a link between Professional Development, their people practices, and 
their students' test score results and achievements by using innovative 
and emerging practices. They are the only school district to ever 
receive this award.
  The Highland School District will receive the ``Rising Star'' Award 
on April 5, 2006 at a dinner at the Rivers Club in Pittsburgh.
  I ask my colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives to join me 
in congratulating the Highland School District for receiving the Rising 
Star Award. It is an honor to represent the Fourth Congressional 
District of Pennsylvania and a pleasure to salute such a dedicated 
school district as the Highland School District.
