                        Monday, December 4, 2017

  Mr. KELLY of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition 
of Greenville Junior-Senior High School in Greenville, Pennsylvania 
which was recently honored by the Department of Education as a 2017 
National Blue Ribbon School. This award, given to only 342 schools in 
America this year, is based on a school's overall academic performance 
as well as its progress in closing achievement gaps among its students.
   In her message of congratulations, Secretary DeVos commended the 
``visionaries, innovators and leaders'' who are ``preparing every child 
for a bright future.'' I am proud to join her in congratulating the 
teachers and administrators of Greenville, as well as the families of 
these students for the love and support they provide. Most of all, I 
congratulate the students themselves for a job well done. They are 
truly a credit to Pennsylvania's Third District, and to our country. It 
is an honor to represent them in the People's House.

                          ____________________
