                            HON. MARTHA ROBY

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 24, 2017

  Mrs. ROBY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Loveless Academic 
Magnet Program (LAMP) High School in Montgomery, Alabama upon its being 
named a National Blue Ribbon School in November of the year 2016.
   LAMP Magnet High School is more than deserving of this recognition. 
The school is currently ranked as the best high school in the State of 
Alabama and the 34th best high school in the country according to U.S. 
News and World Report.
   The school consistently maintains a 95 percent graduation rate 
though it is currently ranked by The Washington Post as one of the most 
challenging high schools in America.
   LAMP is also to be commended for the strong emphasis it places on 
extracurricular activities, community involvement and service, and 
parent engagement.
   The City of Montgomery is fortunate to have the exceptional 
educational opportunities that LAMP Magnet High School offers. The 
school truly makes Montgomery and the State of Alabama proud.
   Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to congratulate Loveless Academic 
Magnet High School on being named a National Blue Ribbon School and 
celebrate this outstanding accomplishment with its students, faculty, 
staff, alumni, and all who cherish this remarkable school.
