  Mr. HOLT. Mr. Speaker, this year, Stuart Country Day School of the 
Sacred Heart in Princeton, New Jersey celebrates its 50th anniversary 
as an independent, Catholic school that prepares young women for lives 
of leadership and civic engagement. Stuart Country Day School prides 
itself on educating young women of all faiths and fostering in them the 
strength of individual thought and expression.
  Over the years, I have been fortunate to meet with the Stuart 
students who travel to Washington, DC and to take them on a tour of the 
Capitol Building. I am continuously impressed with their interest in 
our country's governance and with their insightful, inquisitive 
questions. After each visit, I come away inspired knowing they 
represent some of our country's next generation of leaders.
  The success of the school and its students is not surprising. Even 
the main school building itself emphasizes the values of the school. 
Designed by New Jersey architect Jean Labatut 50 years ago, the 
building is immune to the changing fads and styles of our time. 
Original, warm, genuine, detailed down to the height of each step, 
adjusted for the demands of the 21st century, it is a model for 
emulation by other schools. And just like the building, its faculty and 
students embrace advancements in technology and pedagogy while 
remaining true to the personal faith, intellectual values, and social 
awareness so treasured by the Sacred Heart community.
  I congratulate Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart for 
fifty years of fostering young women to reach their full potential and 
become their better selves. May the next 50 years bring the same 
success and see generations of students develop into successful, 
upstanding citizens.
