                         Thursday, June 5, 2008

  Mr. CASTLE. Madam Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise 
today to recognize the 2008 Graduating Class of the James H. Groves 
Adult High School. These students have worked diligently to complete 
their education and are an excellent example of perseverance and 
dedication to the State of Delaware.
   The James H. Groves Adult High School provides students who have 
officially withdrawn from high school the opportunity to earn a State 
of Delaware diploma and further their education. Additionally, the 
institution provides technical and workplace training to the citizens 
of Delaware. This institution carefully tailors their program to meet 
each individual's needs and help them receive their diploma in a timely 
and affordable manner. Graduates from James H. Groves Adult High School 
are provided with the foundational knowledge to achieve social, 
political, and economic independence so they may excel in a 
technological and global society.
   The class of 2008 is comprised of forty-five graduates, twenty-three 
male and twenty-one female students. Their ages range between eighteen 
and fifty-eight years of age. Some of these students have been working 
diligently to achieve their diploma since 1999. One exemplary student 
has had a perfect attendance record for the three years she attended 
the institution, earning 8.5 credits towards her diploma. These 
citizens have toiled industriously and thoroughly to complete their 
high school education. The highest commendations should be awarded to 
this 44th graduating class of James H. Groves Adult High School.
   I acknowledge the 2008 graduating class of James H. Groves Adult 
High School for their commitment to finishing their education and the 
exceptional example they provide to all citizens seeking to complete 
their high school education. The James H. Groves Adult High School is 
extremely proud of their graduates and I am confident they shall go on 
to perform outstanding in their fields and become a vital part of the 
workforce of Delaware.
