              THE 60TH ANNIVERSARY OF MOUNT CARMEL SCHOOL

  (Mr. SABLAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SABLAN. Mr. Speaker, I ask you to join me in celebrating the 60th 
anniversary of Mount Carmel School and its proud record serving 
students in the Northern Mariana Islands from their elementary through 
high school years.
  Since opening its doors, the school has constantly expanded, adding 
new facilities, state-of-the-art information technology, and the 
standards-based curriculum, with accreditation from the Western 
Association of Schools and Colleges.
  Mount Carmel School has cultivated some of our islands' most notable 
business, government, and community leaders. As elected officials, 
doctors, attorneys, car mechanics, cooks, carpenters, teachers, and 
business executives, the school's alumni stand as inspiring pillars in 
our community. From humble beginnings in 1952, the school has evolved 
into an institution whose name is synonymous with educational 
excellence in our community.
  I offer my congratulations to all of those who have been affiliated 
with Mount Carmel School over these past 60 years: teachers, staff, 
students, alumni, and parents. I have every confidence that the next 60 
years will be marked by the same level of accomplishment.
  Go, Knights.
