  Mr. ISRAEL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge Half Hollow 
Hills East High School, which was named the New York State champion of 
the We the People: The Citizens and the Constitution competition.
  The We the People competition is an extremely prestigious national 
academic contest that promotes the study of the United States 
Constitution. The students from Half Hollow Hills East who participated 
in the simulated congressional hearings were judged on their knowledge 
of and ability to apply the Constitution to current events. The 
students earned the best scores of the nine high schools that competed 
in the New York State Final Hearings in March and as a result, will 
represent New York State in the national finals.
  I am proud to recognize Half Hollow Hills East High School for this 
outstanding academic achievement.
