        HONORING DALLAS CHRISTIAN SCHOOL ON ITS 50TH ANNIVERSARY

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JEB HENSARLING

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 23, 2008

  Mr. HENSARLING. Madam Speaker, today I would like to rise to 
recognize Dallas Christian School and join with them in celebrating 
their 50th anniversary.
  In 1957, Dallas Christian School was established with a mission to 
train students academically, physically, and spiritually. Five decades 
later, this nationally recognized Blue Ribbon School continues to 
accomplish its mission by supplementing its academic curriculum with 
daily Bible classes and chapel services, college courses, 
extracurricular activities, and an athletic department.
  Located in Mesquite, Texas, 90 percent of Dallas Christian School 
graduates attend institutions of higher education, and since 1992, 20 
seniors have qualified for the National Merit Scholarship.
  Madam Speaker, on behalf of the Fifth District of Texas, I am honored 
to recognize Dallas Christian School's 50th anniversary, and I would 
like to commend the students, board of directors, faculty, and staff 
for helping to shape a brighter future for our community and our 
country.

                          ____________________
