FOREST PARK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
(Mr. HILL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Forest Park
Elementary School for over 100 years of success in central Arkansas.
Built in 1913, Forest Park offers a variety of educational clubs and
experiences that support life skills and encourage teamwork, good
sportsmanship and academic growth.
I loved my elementary school years at Forest Park, and I am happy
that my children enjoyed a fine experience in those halls as well.
Located in the heart of Little Rock, Forest Park is led by Principal
Theresa Courtney-Ketcher and serves 460 students in pre-K through fifth
grade.
During the 2013-2014 school year, Forest Park was recognized as a
National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence by the U.S. Department of
Education. This school is consistently a top ranked elementary school
in Arkansas.
I would like to extend my congratulations to Principal Courtney-
Ketcher, Forest Park Elementary and its faculty, and wish it much
continued success in the generations to come.
