  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor 
Callaway High School that is located at 601 Beasley Road in Jackson, 
Mississippi. Callaway is one of seven high schools in the Jackson 
Public School District, the largest school district in the state of 
Mississippi.
  Built in 1966, Callaway was named after the late Robert M. Callaway, 
a Lafayette County native. He began his career teaching Choctaw Indians 
in the mountains of McCurtain County, Oklahoma. Before assuming duties 
as principal of Liberty Grove School, later H. V. Watkins Elementary in 
Jackson, he taught at Darling in Quitman County and Pocahontas in Hinds 
County. He was principal at Watkins from 1936-1956.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Callaway 
High School.
