                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 21, 2010

  Mr. PALLONE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Christian 
Brothers Academy of Lincroft, New Jersey which is celebrating 50 years 
of service and Catholic education in the Lasallian tradition.
  Founded September 14, 1959, Christian Brothers Academy began with a 
freshman class of 150 boys and a faculty of six Christian Brothers, led 
by Brother Bernard McKenna serving as principal. Today, the academy 
remains an all-boys private high school with a rigorous college 
preparatory curriculum, with offerings in honors and advanced placement 
studies. The Academy has achieved numerous honors in education and 
extracurricular activities, making them one of the premier institutes 
of Catholic education in the area.
  The Academy has grown in size, now serving over 900 students, 77 
teachers, 54 executive and support staff, as well as over 9,000 
committed alumni. It occupies a one hundred and fifty acre campus in 
Lincroft, NJ and is accredited by the Middle States Association of 
Colleges and Schools.
  The Christian Brothers Academy is comprised of a community of 
scholars, volunteers and employees dedicated to developing a thriving 
educational environment, focusing on the holistic development of their 
students. The Academy is active in community service and outreach, 
stressing fraternity and camaraderie amongst all students, as well as 
the development of a community-centered work ethic and the ideals of 
Christian charity.
  Madam Speaker, I sincerely hope my colleagues will join me in 
honoring the Christian Brothers Academy and their 50 years of service 
to New Jersey students and the community at large.
