                        Wednesday, June 7, 2006

  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, last year I had the opportunity to honor 
Brentwood High and Franklin High as two of our Nation's top schools.
  I am proud to say these schools have once again been recognized by 
Newsweek Magazine for excellence in education. This year Centennial 
High School in the Seventh District has also been added to the 
exclusive list.
  I want to take a moment to applaud the hard work and dedication it 
has taken for these schools to achieve such excellence. It's a real 
team effort and the students, parents, teachers and staff who've 
dedicated their energy to this success all deserve recognition.
  I want to make specific mention of our principals and thank them for 
their leadership. Brentwood High Principal Kevin Keidel, Centennial 
High Principal Terry Shrader and Franklin High Principal Willie 
Dickerson have earned our respect and our thanks, and I hope they'll 
continue inspiring our kids to work hard and make the most of their 
education.
