  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor a 
remarkable young woman Ms. Jalisa Allen, the 2012 Salutatorian at 
Coahoma Agricultural High School.
  Jalisa is the daughter of Janette Allen, and has two siblings. 
Together they proudly reside in Friars Point, Mississippi. She is a 
senior at Coahoma Agricultural High School. At the age of seven, Jalisa 
decided that she was going to get the best education possible. While 
pursuing this goal, she has achieved the award of being placed on both 
the Principal List and the Superintendent List. Jalisa is also active 
in many school organizations such as, Future Business Leaders of 
America, Math Club, Science Club, and Youth Leadership.
  Jalisa plans to attend the University of Mississippi in Oxford and 
become an Anesthesiologist. After obtaining a degree, Jalisa intends to 
use her education to help her local community in Friars Point.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask our colleagues to join me in recognizing Ms. 
Jalisa Allen, Coahoma Agricultural High School Salutatorian of the 
Class of 2012.
