                                 ______

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 8, 2009

  Mr. BROWN of South Carolina. Madam 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 the 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 example for their peers.
  Ms. Beckham's contributions 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 at Wando are proud to 
have her at the helm, and as the grandparent of a Wando student, 
speaking for all the families of the greater Charleston area, we 
congratulate her for being No. 1 at Wando and for now being No.1 in the 
Nation.

                          ____________________
