                       Tuesday, February 6, 2007

  Mr. HILL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate St. Bartholomew 
Catholic School in Columbus, Indiana for receiving the Department of 
Education's 2006 No Child Left Behind Blue Ribbon School Award.
  St. Bartholomew Catholic School is among only 250 schools in the 
Nation to receive the Blue Ribbon School Award, and 1 of 14 schools in 
Indiana honored with the award. The award recognizes the high academic 
achievements of the students.
  The Blue Ribbon School Award is a testament to the hard work and 
dedication demonstrated by the students, parents, teachers, and 
administrators of St. Bartholomew Catholic School, including its 
Principal Kathy Schubel. This school has become a model for other 
Indiana schools for its academic excellence.
  It is my honor and privilege to recognize St. Bartholomew Catholic 
School for its outstanding achievement in preparing our Hoosier 
children for their future opportunities. I urge St. Bartholomew 
Catholic School to continue to be a shining example of superior 
leadership, and continue its commitment to excellence in education.
