              CONGRATULATING CENTRAL MOUNTAIN HIGH SCHOOL

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Central Mountain High School's wins at the National Leadership and 
Skills Conference.
  Recently, Central Mountain High School students traveled to Atlanta, 
Georgia, to compete at the SkillsUSA's National Leadership and Skills 
Conference, where they achieved remarkable success.
  New alumna Sofia Dressler took home the national title in related 
technical math. Sofia is a gifted mathematician, already taking math 
courses at Commonwealth University in Lock Haven and has worked through 
calculus 3 up to number theory.
  Additionally, three Central Mountain High School rising seniors--
Ellen Banfill, Emily Everett, and Samantha Streator--placed eighth 
nationally in the community service competition. Their community 
service project centered around the Stop the Bleed national awareness 
campaign, aimed to equip their community with supplies and knowledge to 
provide immediate emergency care for life-threatening bleeding after a 
traumatic injury. These four young women have already demonstrated 
academic excellence and a strong sense of community.
  Congratulations to Sofia, Ellen, Emily, and Samantha on their 
achievements. Students like themselves are the future of this great 
Nation.
