Georgia's 11th Congressional District who has distinguished himself as 
an excellent student and leader and has committed to serving his 
country. I am proud to announce that Scott Rowe from Kennesaw, Georgia 
has received an appointment to the United States Naval Academy. Scott 
attends Harrison High School, where he has a 3.75 Grade Point Average 
and has earned the College Board AP Scholar Award. Scott is also a 
member of Mensa. In addition to Scott's focus on academics, he has 
remained very active in extracurricular activities. He is on Harrison's 
wrestling and swim teams and is President of the school's Integrity 
Team.
  Scott is also very involved in community service activities, such as 
Habitat for Humanity. Scott Rowe is an incredibly well-rounded young 
man, and I am honored to have the privilege to nominate him for an 
appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy. I ask that my colleagues take 
this time to congratulate Scott as well as his parents, Larry and 
Barbara Rowe, for his accomplishments. It is because of dedicated young 
people like Scott that America has the finest military in the world. 
Our nation is fortunate to have his service.
