                   CONGRATULATING BALLARD HIGH SCHOOL

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, I would like to take this time to 
congratulate Ballard High School in Louisville, KY.
  Newsweek magazine recently published a list of the top 1,500 public 
schools in the country. The 15 schools that made the list from Kentucky 
rank among the top 6 percent of public schools in the Nation. What is 
even more impressive is that Kentucky had three more schools ranked 
this year than in 2008, showing improvement in our State's schools. 
Placing as 1 of 15 schools from Kentucky on this list, Ballard High 
School has earned national recognition for the fine performance of its 
students and faculty.
  I am proud of the students of Ballard High School. Their commitment 
to education is an example for the entire Commonwealth and I take pride 
in recognizing them on the floor of the U.S. Senate.
