                COMMENDING CARL H. LORBEER MIDDLE SCHOOL

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. GARY G. MILLER

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 15, 2000

  Mr. GARY MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise to commend the 
students, teachers, parents, and support staff of Carl H. Lorbeer 
Middle School, the newest Blue Ribbon Award school in California's 41st 
Congressional District.
  Carl H. Lorbeer Middle School, located in Diamond Bar, California, is 
part of the Pomona Unified School District. Home to 950 seventh and 
eighth-graders, its student body is representative of California's 
diverse culture. But despite the various backgrounds represented, each 
student is expected to contribute to a learning environment which 
demands high expectation. As a result, over 500 students make the honor 
roll each semester.
  The teachers and staff of this school are committed to giving 
``whatever it takes'' to meet the needs of their students. This goal 
frequently requires involving the parents and community in school 
activities.
  This combination of high expectations for students, committed 
teachers and staff, and parental involvement has made Carl H. Lorbeer 
Middle School one of America's Blue Ribbon Schools.
