                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRETT GUTHRIE

                         Thursday, May 7, 2026

  Mr. GUTHRIE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Bowling Green, 
Kentucky's Rockfield Elementary School on being named a Leader in Me 
Legacy School. This distinction reflects years of commitment to 
building a culture where every student is empowered to lead, grow, and 
succeed.
  The Leader in Me program, launched in 2008 by Franklin Covey and 
based on The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, teaches students 
leadership and life skills through a schoolwide model. Schools that 
demonstrate sustained excellence can earn Lighthouse status, with the 
highest recognition, Legacy School, being awarded to those that embody 
and maintain a strong leadership culture over time.
  Rockfield Elementary has demonstrated years of commitment to 
leadership development through empowering students to take ownership of 
their learning, fostering a positive school culture, and consistently 
building leadership habits in both the classroom and community.
  This award rightfully highlights the school's efforts to support its 
students in developing the skills that will set them up for success in 
their futures.
  Rockfield Elementary joins a growing list of Warren County Public 
Schools to be named a Leader in Me Legacy School. I congratulate them 
again, and go Raiders.
