                          HON. BRAD ELLSWORTH

                       Thursday, February 4, 2010

  Mr. ELLSWORTH. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate White 
River Valley High School in Switz City, Indiana for being recognized as 
one of the top high schools in the nation by U.S. News & World Report.
  White River Valley High School has developed a well-deserved 
reputation of academic excellence in Greene County and beyond. Students 
have maintained a 90.7 percent average on state tests and nearly 96 
percent of them graduate. With success like this, it is no surprise 
that White River Valley High School is one of only 30 high schools in 
Indiana to be recognized this year.
  The students sitting in classrooms today will be the scientists, 
engineers, teachers and leaders of tomorrow. The quality of education 
they receive has a direct impact on the strength of our economy, our 
communities, and our country in the future. If their success so far is 
any indication, I think that future looks bright.
  White River Valley High School is preparing students in Greene County 
to go out and make a difference in our world. I am proud of their 
accomplishments and grateful for their continued contributions to the 
Switz City community.
