  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Madam Speaker, in the Fourth Congressional 
District of Georgia, many schools strive to excel.
  Under the leadership and guidance of the Rockdale Board of Education, 
and the Superintendent Dr. Samuel King,--the principals, teachers, 
staff and students in Georgia's Rockdale County school system have met 
and exceeded national standards.
  The Rockdale County Board of Education members have demonstrated the 
will to win, the courage to win, the mechanics of teamwork and the 
astounding spirit of triumph from building a system that serves all in 
the county.
  Our beloved children and community will benefit from the seeds that 
the Board of Education and Administration have planted to insure that 
Rockdale will always be prosperous and productive.
  This unique board has given of themselves tirelessly and 
unconditionally to providing the best that they have to preserve 
integrity, scholarship, leadership, and service for all of Rockdale 
County.
  I was pleased to set aside April 21, 2007 to honor and recognize the 
Rockdale County Board of Education for their outstanding service to our 
District.
