  Mr. LANCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize St. John the 
Apostle School of Clark, New Jersey for being named a Blue Ribbon 
School by the United States Department of Education.
  The Department of Education acknowledges schools where students 
attain and maintain high academic goals. St. John the Apostle School is 
a proud example of academic excellence where students have high levels 
of performance, stellar student achievement, and where educators 
facilitate a strong learning environment.
  I commend Sister Donna Marie O'Brien, the faculty, the students, the 
parents, and the entire community on receiving this prestigious award. 
St. John the Apostle School is a proud example of academic excellence 
and worthy of this national distinction.
