                        Wednesday, July 29, 2015

  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Edward Lee 
McClain High School of Greenfield, Ohio, on their 100-year anniversary 
and celebration.
  For a century, McClain High School has stood proudly at the heart of 
Greenfield, educating the community's next generation and preparing 
them for the future.
  Originally donated by Edward Lee McClain and his wife Lulu in 1915, 
McClain High School has since fulfilled its stated mission of 
``producing graduates who are well equipped to meet the challenges of 
education, work, and life.''
  Alongside the 100 years of quality education it has provided to the 
children of Greenfield, McClain has become famous for the historic art 
contained within its walls.
  Truly a jewel of culture, students are immersed in a rich history of 
art and tradition, including murals, statues, and architecture.
  The institution and its graduates owe a debt of gratitude to the 
community of Greenfield, for the continued support in preserving and 
maintaining the magnificent building.
  McClain High School is a living legacy of Edward McClain's hopes that 
the Greenfield school would be an institution which encouraged ``higher 
education, purer morals, and broader and better citizenship.''
  I am honored to represent a district which contains such a quality 
and historic educational institution within its borders. I applaud 
Edward Lee McClain High School on this historic milestone, and I wish 
the school the very best over their next 100 years.
