  Mr. DeSAULNIER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the 50th anniversary 
of the founding of Carondelet High School located in my congressional 
district in Concord, California. Carondelet High School has served 
thousands of Contra Costa County's brightest young women during its 
long and successful run.
  Since its founding in 1965 by three Sisters of St. Joseph and three 
lay women, it has been the only all-women's high school in Contra Costa 
County and one of just a handful in the San Francisco Bay Area. As 
such, it is an important part of the East Bay community.
  Carondelet High School's mission statement--To inspire excellence by 
preparing young women to live with heart, faith and courage in the 
Catholic tradition and spirit of the Sisters of St. Joseph--reflects 
their longstanding tradition of providing young women with a 21st 
Century education grounded in values that are critical to our 
community.
  Congratulations to the Carondelet High School family on a successful 
first 50 years of service to your students and the community.

                          ____________________
