    CONGRATULATING THE WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE OLYMPIAD TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. G.K. BUTTERFIELD

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 16, 2006

  Mr. BUTTERFIELD. Mr. Speaker, today I am proud to rise to 
congratulate the students of the Washington High School Science 
Olympiad Team for winning the North Carolina State Science Olympiad. 
Competing against 250 teams from around the state, the young men and 
women from Washington defeated some of the premier science and math 
high schools in the State.
  Washington High School is becoming known in North Carolina for its 
excellence in science education. This year's victory represents the 
second straight year Washington High School has been named North 
Carolina's top team and the third time in the last four years.
  This week they will travel to Bloomington, Indiana, to compete in the 
National Science Olympiad against equally capable schools from around 
the Nation. I am confident that the students of Washington High School 
will demonstrate their expertise again in competing to the best of 
their abilities with some of the best funded specialty schools in the 
country.
  The students and faculty of Washington High School continue to show 
they can achieve great things with what little they are given, and it 
is my hope that my colleagues will agree that with the proper means, 
these students can achieve anything. Again, I congratulate the students 
of Washington High School for their great achievements and wish them 
the best of luck on May 17. We are very proud of them.
