                        Friday, December 8, 2006

  Mr. GORDON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the students, faculty 
and staff of Holloway High School for earning a 2006 No Child Left 
Behind Blue Ribbon Award for academic superiority.
  Located in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, Holloway High School serves 176 
Rutherford County students who have fallen behind academically but have 
a sincere desire to catch up and graduate. The school was named a Blue 
Ribbon school by the U.S. Department of Education for scoring in the 
top 10 percent of all schools in Tennessee for 3 consecutive years.
  No Child Left Behind Blue Ribbon schools are selected by the U.S. 
Department of Education as a way to recognize schools across the 
country that show either high achievement or dramatic improvement.
  Principal Ivan Duggin says the school will continue to evolve and do 
whatever it takes to remain one of the top schools in the state of 
Tennessee and the country. Mr. Duggin has said, ``We will not rest on 
success. We will constantly be focused and seeking to find the best 
people, practices and strategies which will yield superior results.''
  This award is evidence of the hard work put forth by the faculty, 
students and staff at Holloway High School. I am truly proud of them 
for their efforts, and I commend them on this achievement.
