                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 22, 2017

  Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Greenbrier Middle 
School on being named one of 465 Schools to Watch by the National Forum 
to Accelerate Middle-Grades Reform in 2017.
   By establishing organizational norms, structures, and arrangements, 
Schools to Watch achieve academic excellence, developmental 
responsiveness, and social equity.
   Those three characteristics are paramount to middle-grade success 
and young adolescent development.
   I am encouraged to hear of Greenbrier Middle School's unyielding 
sense of purpose and dedication to the success of their students; and, 
I am excited to personally congratulate their outstanding efforts 
during their visit to Washington this month.
   Our youth are our future, so I look forward to further Arkansas 
schools joining Greenbrier in the pursuit of excellence.

                          ____________________
