  Mr. FINCHER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 10 outstanding 
high school seniors from Carroll County, Tennessee. These scholars were 
recently recognized by the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce for their 
academic excellence in scoring a 29 or better on the national ACT test. 
This accomplishment ranks the students among the top seven percent in 
the nation of all the students who took the ACT exam.
   I commend--Brandon Barker, Micah Bullock, Dan Hoffman, Joshua 
Howell, Corey Kleppe, Joshua Malley, Robert Medford, Katelyn Ridley, 
Lucas Simmons and Kelsey

Wallace--for their academic achievement, commitment to high standards, 
and as a shining example of the educational quality found throughout 
West Tennessee.
   The American College Testing (ACT) is a standardized test for high 
school achievement and college admission. The test consists of four 
concentrations: English, mathematics, reading and science reasoning, 
with an optional writing component. The main four tests are scored 
individually on a scale of 1 to 36.
   On behalf of Tennessee's 8th Congressional District, I congratulate 
all these individuals and wish them the best of luck for all future 
endeavors. I am extremely proud of you all.
