                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 16, 2010

  Mr. HENSARLING. Madam Speaker, today I honor the four schools in the 
Fifth Congressional District of Texas recently recognized for 
excellence in education. Fred Douglass Elementary School in 
Jacksonville, Lake Highlands Junior High School in Dallas, Scurry-
Rosser Middle School in Scurry and West Side Elementary School in 
Jacksonville were named to the Department of Education's 2010 Blue 
Ribbon Schools list.
  Their performance illustrates the commitment and dedication of the 
students, parents, teachers, and administrators to a quality education. 
Education is the backbone of a successful society, and I am proud to 
know that the students of these four schools are receiving a quality 
education that will provide a solid foundation for future academic 
success.
  This is a great honor of which the school, its students, parents, and 
communities can be justifiably proud, and I offer my warm 
congratulations on this fine achievement.
  Madam Speaker, as the representative for the Fifth Congressional 
District of Texas, I would like to commend these schools for their 
continued achievements in education.

                          ____________________
