                    CONGRATULATIONS TO WE THE PEOPLE

  (Mr. MASSIE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. MASSIE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate an outstanding 
group of students in my district from Highlands High School in Fort 
Thomas. These students are members of the We the People team at their 
high school.
  They recently won the State championship and will compete in the 
national-level program here in Washington, D.C., this weekend, 
representing the State of Kentucky. This is the 12th consecutive year 
this team has won this competition in Kentucky.
  We the People is a civics education program that promotes teaching 
and learning about our Nation's history, the Constitution, and the Bill 
of Rights. Each year, the program hosts a national competition in 
Washington, D.C., in which individual State-level winning teams compete 
and participate in simulated congressional hearings.
  I am so proud of these students in my district, their parents, their 
teachers, and the administration of Highlands High School for their 
hard work and dedication.
  Congratulations again, and I wish you all the best in the National 
Finals.
