                         HON. ROBERT J. WITTMAN

                       Friday, February 20, 2026

  Mr. WITTMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to formally recognize an 
exceptional young student, Madeline Brobst, a senior at Franklin 
Christian Academy who has received a perfect composite score of 36 on 
the ACT exam. Through disciplined study, steady composure during 
examinations, and unwavering commitment of time and talent, Ms. Brobst 
has achieved academic success and joined the ranks of the best and 
brightest students in Tennessee and our country.
  In addition to her intellectual capability, Ms. Brobst serves as a 
mentor to eighth grade students at Franklin Christian Academy; she is a 
member of the Student Leadership Team, National Honor Society, and the 
worship team during school chapel services. During her time at Franklin 
Christian Academy, Ms. Brobst has participated in numerous theatrical 
and musical productions.
  It is with great distinction and pride that I honor Madeline for 
achieving a perfect ACT score, a remarkable feat accomplished by only a 
very small percentage of students nationwide. This achievement places 
her among the most academically accomplished students in our country 
and reflects a level of brilliance that is truly commendable.
  Earning a perfect score on the ACT is a testament to remarkable 
intellectual ability, diligent preparation, and an unparalleled 
commitment to academic excellence. It demonstrates not only mastery 
across English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science, but also the 
persistence, focus, and determination required to perform at the 
highest level under rigorous testing conditions.
  Madeline's dedication to learning and pursuing the highest standards 
of performance speaks to both her exceptional aptitude and her strong 
character. Achievements of this caliber do not occur by chance; they 
are the result of sustained hard work, personal sacrifice, and a 
devoted commitment to excellence.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating 
Madeline Brobst on this milestone of academic distinction. We commend 
her for this outstanding accomplishment and look forward with 
confidence to the many successes that will undoubtedly follow in her 
academic and professional journey.
