                     Wednesday, September 22, 2010

  Mr. RUPPERSBERGER. Madam Speaker, I rise before you today to honor 
the faculty and students at Eastern Technical High School of Baltimore 
County, which has recently been designated as a 2010 National Blue 
Ribbon School. The National Blue Ribbon Award recognizes public and 
private schools whose students have achieved at very high levels or 
have made significant progress and successfully closed achievement 
gaps, especially among disadvantaged and minority students.
  Eastern Technical High School is a magnet school that provides 10 
different career path programs for students which will help prepare 
them to become productive members of the workforce in the future. 
Education is so important in setting our youth up for success and 
Eastern Technical High School provides a phenomenal example of how to 
effectively do so. In fact, Newsweek Magazine ranks Eastern Tech as 
among the top 5% of high schools in the United States.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that you join with me today to honor the faculty 
and students at Eastern Technical High School. It is their hard work 
and dedication that have won them the recognition of the National Blue 
Ribbon Award. The school's consistent outstanding performance is an 
indicator of the faculty's perseverance and the student body's drive. 
It is with great pride that I congratulate Eastern Technical High 
School on its exemplary service.
