  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize the 
outstanding achievements of the students, teachers, administrators, 
parents, and patrons of Stanberry High School and the Stanberry R-II 
School District. Stanberry High School was named a 2008 No Child Left 
Behind Blue Ribbon School of the year.
  Madam Speaker, in order for Stanberry High School to receive such a 
prestigious national distinction, they were required to score in the 
top 10 percent on the State of Missouri's assessment test. I would like 
to make a special note of Stanberry R-II School District Superintendent 
Dr. Bruce Johnson and Stanberry High School Principal Gregory Dias for 
their commitment and leadership to the students of Stanberry High 
School.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that you join me in applauding the outstanding 
achievements of Stanberry High School. It is an honor to have a high 
school like Stanberry in the Sixth Congressional District of Missouri 
that strives for educational excellence. We wish them many more years 
of success.
