  Ms. GRANGER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Kendall Evelyn 
Marchant, who is the granddaughter of my distinguished former 
colleague, Congressman Kenny Marchant, on her graduation from The 
Hockaday School on May 14, 2022. Kendall was born on December 19, 2003, 
in Dallas County, Texas to Lindsay (Hill) and Matthew Marchant. She is 
the sister of Hayden Marchant and the granddaughter of Kenny and Donna 
Marchant and Rod and Sherry Hill.
  Kendall has attended the world-renowned Hockaday School since pre-
kindergarten and has consistently made her family proud through her 
numerous academic and non-academic achievements. During high school, 
Kendall was on the Head of School List every semester, in addition to 
earning the Senior History Award, a Gold Medal and a Silver Medal in 
the National Spanish Exam, and the AP Scholar with Honor distinction.
  Kendall also pursued numerous extracurriculars while at The Hockaday 
School, serving as a member of the school's Honor Council and the co-
president of the Hockaday Young Republicans. Due to her keen interest 
in film, Kendall founded the Hockaday Film Society, where she also 
served as the group's president. Additionally, Kendall's submission to 
the All-American High School Film Festival was chosen as an Official 
Selection, demonstrating her talent in the field.
  Finishing out the triple crown of her scholastic accomplishments, 
Kendall is also a phenomenal athlete who played lacrosse, softball, and 
was a 3-year member of the varsity basketball team, where she served as 
Captain in her senior year. Her athletic awards include the Split H 
award and the Athlete of the Week.
  Outside of school, Kendall is very involved with helping her 
community. She volunteers at the First Baptist Church of Carrollton as 
an engagement leader and mentor and serves as a tutor with the North 
Texas Reading Partners Program. She also volunteered at Metrocrest 
Services during critical months of the COVID-19 pandemic, helping to 
provide food to the most vulnerable.
  Lastly, Kendall served as a crew member at the AMC Northpark Theater 
in 2021 and was active with the North Dallas YoungLife program.
  Kendall is most importantly a wonderful and caring daughter, sister, 
niece, cousin, and granddaughter to her loving family members. She will 
attend Baylor University in the Fall of 2022 as a University Scholar, 
with concentrations in History and Neuroscience with a minor in 
Creative Writing.
  I ask all of my colleagues to join me in honoring Kendall Marchant on 
her graduation from The Hockaday School and wish her success at Baylor 
University.
