 RECOGNIZING SILOAM SPRINGS HIGH SCHOOL FOR ITS ACHIEVEMENTS IN SCHOOL 
                              IMPROVEMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JOHN BOOZMAN

                              of arkansas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 14, 2010

  Mr. BOOZMAN. Madam Speaker, I would like to recognize Siloam Springs 
High School for its national recognition for outstanding achievement in 
school improvement.
  Siloam Springs High School is one of only 30 schools to be named a 
Pacesetter School by the Southern Regional Education Board, an honor 
given to schools that exemplify the progress they can make when leaders 
embrace change and support improvement efforts.
  Siloam Springs Hill School earned this recognition two years ago and 
continues to advance its curriculum and instruction to create an 
environment that encourages high achievement of its students.
  School leaders attribute this success to block scheduling that allows 
teachers to work with a fewer number of students during longer class 
periods and provide students with more individual assistance as well as 
an increase in the number of Advanced Placement courses offered.
  I am very proud to honor and congratulate the students and staff at 
Siloam Springs High School as well as the school district and the 
community for this innovative approach to education. I look forward to 
the academic excellence that will come from Siloam Springs High School 
in the years to come.

                          ____________________
