  Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Caroline 
Hamilton of Lewisville High School for her recognition as a 2007 
Presidential Scholar.
  The Presidential Scholar Commission honors up to 121 graduating 
seniors each year for outstanding academic achievement. This 
prestigious award is one of our nation's highest for high school 
students. Caroline is being honored as a Presidential Scholar for 
exceptional performance on the SAT. She earned a perfect score of 2400.
  At Lewisville High School, Caroline is 2nd in her class and a leader 
in the band, as well as a member of National Honors Society and various 
other organizations. Outside of school, she is a member of our 
Congressional Youth Advisory Council and has received many well 
deserved accolades in Lewisville and Denton County.
  Caroline is a notable example of how the education system in Texas is 
committed to fostering growth in students and giving them the skills 
they need to achieve. Congratulations to Caroline, her family, and 
Lewisville High School for this outstanding achievement.
