    RECOGNIZING SIX OUTSTANDING HIGH SCHOOLS IN TEXAS' 26TH DISTRICT

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. MICHAEL C. BURGESS

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 27, 2010

  Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize six outstanding 
high schools located within the 26th Congressional District of Texas 
that were chosen by Newsweek to be placed on ``America's Best High 
School List 2010.''
  ``America's Best High School List'' is compiled annually utilizing 
statistical data about the academia that public, magnet, and specialty 
high schools implement within their classrooms. Ranking of each school 
is based upon the rigorous courses that school staffs challenge their 
students with, such as advanced placement college-level courses and 
tests. Only six percent of public schools in the United States made the 
list this year.
  Madam Speaker, I would like to submit for the Record the names of the 
high schools within my district that achieved this honor:
  Keller High School (Keller ISD), Keller, TX;
  Wakeland High School (Frisco ISD), Frisco, TX;
  Flower Mound High School (Lewisville ISD), Flower Mound, TX;
  LD Bell High School (Hurst-Euless-Bedford ISD), Hurst, TX;
  Marcus High School (Lewisville ISD), Flower Mound, TX; and
  The Colony High School (Lewisville ISD), The Colony, TX.
  Madam Speaker, it is truly an honor to rise today and commend these 
exemplary high schools. I am proud to represent all of the hard working 
teachers, administrators, staff and students of these fine educational 
institutions in the U.S. House of Representatives.
