                         RECOGNIZING JUDD POPE

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. MIKE ROGERS

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 23, 2026

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an 
exceptional student from my district, Judd Pope. As a senior at 
Piedmont High School in Piedmont, Alabama, Judd has made school history 
as the first student at his school to earn a perfect score on the ACT.
  In February of 2025, Judd achieved the perfect ACT super score of 36, 
an accomplishment that reflects not only academic excellence, but a 
true commitment to learning.
  Judd will graduate from Piedmont High School in May of 2026 and plans 
to attend Auburn University, where I have no doubt, he will continue to 
excel.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing and 
celebrating Judd's achievement. He represents the very best of Alabama, 
and we are proud to see him carry that spirit forward.

                          ____________________
