                       Tuesday, November 1, 2005

  Ms. EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, an exceptional 
education serves as the foundation for exceptional opportunities in 
life. When an institution of learning goes the extra mile to help its 
students reach their full potential, the institution deserves 
recognition for its achievement.
  On November 10-11, 2005, the U.S. Department of Education will 
present the coveted No Child Left Behind Blue Ribbon Schools Awards. 
Blue Ribbon Schools are those whose students achieve in the top 10 
percent on State tests or schools where at least 40 percent of students 
from disadvantaged backgrounds sharply improve their performance on 
state tests.
  The 30th Congressional District of the State of Texas is home to 
several such schools. On this momentous occasion, I would like to 
extend warm congratulations to the School of Science and Engineering on 
being named a 2005 Blue Ribbon School. This institution has enabled its 
students to reach a standard of achievement that is exceptional. I 
honor the dedication of administrators, teachers and students required 
to capture this award and send best wishes in future endeavors.
