                                  _____
                                 

                            HON. MIKE ROGERS

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 9, 2013

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I ask for the House's attention 
today to honor an extraordinary college preparatory school in my 
district. The Donoho School, founded in 1963, will celebrate its 50th 
anniversary this month.
  The Donoho School was founded in 1963 as a secondary school and was 
called the Anniston Academy. In 1976, the name was changed to The 
Donoho School in recognition of Mrs. Harriet Wallis Donoho, a founder 
of the school. The Lower Division of the school was founded as The 
Episcopal Day School in 1961 as an independent elementary school. 
Housed originally in the facilities of the Church of St. Michael and 
All Angels, the school moved into Grace Episcopal Church in 1967. In 
1976, The Episcopal Day School merged with The Donoho School and became 
the Lower Division.
  The Donoho School currently enrolls more than 400 students in Pre-K 
through 12th grade. It is an active member of the Alabama Association 
of Independent Schools, Alabama High School Athletic Association, 
College Board, National Association for College Admission Counseling, 
National Association of Independent Schools, National Association of 
Secondary School Principals, National Honor Society and Southern 
Association of Independent Schools. The school will celebrate its 50th 
anniversary with an awards ceremony on September 16th.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in celebrating The Donoho School's 
achievements and thanking them for their dedication to providing 
Anniston's children with a quality education.
