                   RECOGNITION OF ROSARY HIGH SCHOOL

 Mr. BOND. Mr. President, I rise to recognize Rosary High 
School's outstanding accomplishments and to congratulate them on their 
40th anniversary and rededication which will take place on April 29, 
2001.
  Originally Archbishop Joseph Ritter dedicated the building for Rosary 
High School in St. Louis on April 29, 1962. Since its first graduating 
class in 1965, Rosary High school has proudly graduated 8,000 students. 
Over the years its students have done an outstanding job of serving the 
St. Louis community by completing more than 100 hours of community 
service per student.
  Rosary High School continues to maintain an excellent academic record 
with average ACT scores that are above the state and national norms. 
Fifty percent of their graduating class has received scholarships to 
college.
  Rosary High School has excelled in their athletic programs. Over the 
past 40 years they have repeatedly won the State championship in 
soccer, as well as championships in volleyball and basketball.
  Rosary High School is an exemplary High School. The School, faculty, 
and students are an asset to the St. Louis community. It is my 
sincerest hope that the next forty years are as successful as the 
last.
