           RECOGNIZING THE PERFECT SAT SCORE OF SAHLI NEGASSI

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. LaMONICA McIVER

                             of new jersey

  Mrs. McIVER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate Sahli Negassi, a 
NJ-10 student at West Orange high school who received a perfect score 
on the SAT this year. Less than 1 percent of SAT test-takers earn a 
perfect score each year, and Sahli's accomplishment is nothing short of 
extraordinary. His SAT preparation was largely self-directed, relying 
on free resources, and using his time and determination to study for 
the exam. Beyond

academics, he is deeply involved in extracurricular activities at West 
Orange High School. He has been a dedicated member of the cross-country 
and track teams since seventh grade and spent two seasons on the color 
guard. Sahli is also the president of the math team, chapter president 
of the National Honor Society, a varsity chess team member and part of 
the Royal Strings ensemble. His involvement in multiple activities and 
honor societies speaks to his well-rounded excellence. After graduating 
high school, he hopes to attend Harvard and study law. Any school would 
be lucky to have such a bright young mind.
  What an incredible accomplishment and a shining example of New Jersey 
excellence. I Congratulate Sahli. He makes New Jersey proud.
