              TERRY SANFORD HIGH SCHOOL 100TH ANNIVERSARY

  Mr. BURR. Madam President, I am very proud to extend my recognition 
and congratulations to Terry Sanford High School in Fayetteville, NC, 
in celebration of its 100th anniversary. As the oldest high school in 
Cumberland County, Terry Sanford High School continually strives to 
provide a global and multicultural educational experience to its 
students and its community.
  The school originally opened its doors in 1913 as Fayetteville High 
School. In 1968, the school was renamed Terry Sanford High School after 
the late Senator James Terry Sanford, who served as the 65th Governor 
of North Carolina before going on to honorably serve in this body for 7 
years.
  The students, faculty, and staff at Terry Sanford High School are led 
by Principal David Haggerty, and all continue to reflect the proud 
accomplishments of the Fayetteville community. Throughout the last 
century, the school has served as a springboard for students interested 
in the successful pursuit of a variety of academic fields. It has been 
recognized for its diverse student body, globally focused education, 
and ability to prepare students for future successes.
  Additionally, the school's academic rigor sets it apart from others 
like it. Its School of Global Studies offers courses that encourage 
global awareness among students and cultural and social growth. During 
a time of such increasing globalization, academic institutions such as 
Terry Sanford High School are invaluable in our efforts to prepare our 
children for achievement in a 21st century world.
  Mr. President, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing and 
congratulating Terry Sanford High School in Fayetteville, NC, for 
serving as a pioneer for secondary education in Cumberland County and 
for continuing to uphold such high academic standards in its work to 
educate its students and community. May Terry Sanford High School's 
outstanding reputation for an engaging and enriching education be 
recognized and appreciated by the citizens of North Carolina and this 
Congress.
