                        GEORGIA MILITARY COLLEGE

  (Mr. JODY B. HICE of Georgia asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. JODY B. HICE of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to applaud the 
outstanding accomplishments of Georgia Military College, an outstanding 
academic institution in Milledgeville, Georgia, that recently achieved 
a 100 percent graduation rate and exceeded the State and national 
averages for the SAT and ACT.
  Today I commend them for their commitment to deliver a high-quality 
education and for their support of all students to reach their true 
academic potential. They have an unprecedented 97 percent graduating 
class enrolled in post-secondary institutions.
  Georgia Military College has also distinguished itself by improving 
its students' individual well-being and putting character above all.
  GMC's impact extends far beyond higher test scores and academic 
performance. Students are more equipped to enter the workforce and are 
better prepared to contribute to society.
  They have also excelled athletically, winning two State championships 
in varsity softball and varsity girls track this past year.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Georgia 
Military College students, their faculty, staff, and president, 
Lieutenant General William B. Caldwell, for their remarkable scholastic 
and athletic achievements.
  By instilling the values of duty, honor, and country, they empower 
students to reach new heights. I am deeply honored to have Georgia 
Military College in Georgia's 10th District.
