  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Denise Sheldon, a 1993 
graduate of St. Joseph's School and a 1997 graduate of Sacred Heart 
Preparatory. The School is proud to offer the Athletic Hall of Fame to 
honor her for her athletic achievements. The award recognizes 
contributions of alumni athletes, teams, coaches, and administrators of 
Sacred Heart Preparatory. Individuals like Denise Sheldon who are 
inducted into the Hall of Fame have made significant achievements in 
her sport of volleyball and exemplified the principals of sportsmanship 
and Christianity as illustrated in the Goals and Criteria of Sacred 
Heart Schools.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Denise 
Sheldon, an athlete who lives a life which embodies the goals and 
criteria of Sacred Heart Schools. She lives the five commitments of 
faith, respect, social awareness, community building and personal 
growth, and her contributions to her sport have strengthened our 
community and our country immeasurably.
