  Mr. SCHIFF. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay special recognition to 
the Glendale Adventist Academy upon the celebration of its One 
Hundredth Anniversary.
  The Glendale Adventist Academy was founded in 1907 to provide quality 
Christian education to young men and women. The school's mission is to 
provide a Christ-centered learning environment, a progressive and 
challenging curriculum, and a focus on ethics and values to instill a 
strong sense civic responsibility in their local and global 
communities.
  The Glendale Adventist Academy challenges its students with a 
rigorous balance of college preparatory courses, Christian education, 
arts, athletics, and a strong focus on community service. With over 
ninety percent of graduating seniors proceeding to higher education, 
this unique curriculum has aided over 5,000 alumni who have excelled in 
fields including medicine, law, business and education.
  Throughout one hundred years of service, the Glendale Adventist 
Academy has emphasized the importance of community outreach. The school 
actively engages in food and clothing drives, raising charitable funds, 
and participating in mission trips. The school highly encourages 
students to participate in spiritual activities such as special 
religious and vesper programs.
  For one hundred years the Glendale Adventist Academy has fulfilled 
its commitment to education and community service through the strong 
guidance of its faculty. All teachers hold a Bachelor's Degree, many 
have their Masters, and all hold Seventh-day Adventist certification in 
their subject. The Glendale Adventist Academy is fully accredited by 
both the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and the Seventh-
day Adventist North American Division Commission on Accreditation.
  I ask all Members to join me today in honoring Glendale Adventist 
Academy upon the celebration of its One Hundredth Anniversary. The 
entire community joins me in thanking the Glendale Adventist Academy 
for the outstanding educational opportunities that it has provided for 
the youth of California's 29th Congressional District.
