                         TRIBUTE TO ARJUN GANGA

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 7, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Arjun Ganga, a senior at Valley High School in West Des 
Moines, Iowa, for earning a perfect score on his American College 
Testing (ACT) examination.
  Arjun is one of only 2,235 students out of 2.1 million 2017 high 
school test-takers who earned this very rare honor. He was one of five 
students in his Valley High School class to earn the top composite 
score of 36, a milestone that had never before been reached in the 
school's history. He was able to accomplish this impressive feat while 
still remaining active in a number of extracurricular activities, 
including: co-founding and co-directing the Des Moines Student-to-
Student STEM Speaker Series, Science Bowl, tennis team, the Principal's 
Advisory Council, National Honor Society, student government, National 
Council on Youth Leadership, and the Silver Cord Volunteer Program.
  Mr. Speaker, I commend Arjun for his hard-work, dedication, and 
commitment to excellence. I ask that my colleagues in the United States 
House of Representatives join me in congratulating him and in wishing 
him nothing but continued success.
