                        TRIBUTE TO LUCY BECKHAM

  (Mr. BROWN of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BROWN of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to extend my 
congratulations to Ms. Lucy Beckham of Wando High School in Mount 
Pleasant, South Carolina, on her selection as South Carolina's 2010 
National Secondary Principal of the Year.
  This distinction, presented by MetLife and the National Association 
of Secondary School Principals, is a most deserving recognition of her 
leadership and dedication to the students entrusted to her.
  The National Principal of the Year program began in 1993 and was 
established to honor those education administrators that have set the 
highest examples for their peers. Ms. Beckham's contribution and sense 
of purpose extend beyond the campus of Wando to so many areas, 
including her church and numerous community activities.
  I am certain that all of the faculty and staff of Wando are proud to 
have her at the helm. And as a grandparent of a Wando student, speaking 
for all the families of the greater Charleston area, we congratulate 
her for being number one at Wando and now being number one in all 
America.
