  Mr. FOSTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Granger Middle 
School in Aurora, Illinois, for being named an Illinois Horizon School 
to Watch by the Association of Illinois Middle-Grade Schools.
  The Association of Illinois Middle-Grade Schools recognizes 
educational programs that promote quality and fairness in order to 
provide educators, parents, and students with the best learning 
environment possible. Alongside the National Forum to Accelerate 
Middle-Grade Reform, the Association of Illinois Middle-Grade Schools 
designates certain institutions that fit these criteria as an Illinois 
Horizon School to Watch.
  Granger Middle School was included for the second time on this list 
because the faculty, staff, and students have consistently demonstrated 
outstanding academic achievement, sensitivity to the needs of their 
students, and a commitment to creating equal opportunity in the 
classroom. Additionally, Granger Middle School's dedicated faculty and 
involved parents make them one of the best middle schools in the state 
of Illinois. These qualities create not only a terrific educational 
experience inside the classroom, but also produce a community that 
supports and encourages students long after their time at Granger is 
complete.
  Congratulations to Granger Middle School for being named an Illinois 
Horizon School to Watch.
