                       Tuesday, January 29, 2008

  Mr. ELLSWORTH. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Signature 
Learning Center in Evansville for being recognized as one of the top 
high schools in the Nation by US News & World Report.
  Of course, they aren't telling us anything we didn't already know. In 
the Evansville community, the Signature Learning Center has developed a 
well-deserved reputation of academic excellence with 100 percent 
enrollment in advanced college prep courses and 100 percent graduation 
rate.
  And people are taking notice. In addition to this recognition, the 
school was listed by Newsweek as one of the top 100 high schools in the 
Nation last year, and just this year was named a National Charter 
School of the Year by the Center for Education Reform.
  These students are the next generation of leaders in our community. 
The quality of education they receive has a direct impact on the 
strength of our country.
  The Signature Learning Center is providing students in southern 
Indiana with the tools they need to meet their full potential and make 
a difference in our world. I am proud of their accomplishments and 
grateful for their continued contributions to the Evansville community.
