          NEW HAMPSHIRE 2010 BLUE RIBBON SCHOOL AWARD WINNERS

 Mrs. SHAHEEN. Mr. President, today I wish to congratulate the 
Bath Village School and the Hollis/Brookline High School, respectively, 
for being recognized for their commitment to quality education and the 
outstanding educational achievements of their students. The Bath 
Village School and the Hollis/Brookline High School have been 
designated as 2010 National Blue Ribbon schools, one of the most 
prestigious honors bestowed upon our Nation's elementary, middle, and 
high schools.
  Each year the Blue Ribbon Schools Program acknowledges exceptional 
public and private schools whose students either perform at a high 
level or achieve significant improvements in performance having come 
from disadvantaged backgrounds. Blue Ribbon schools stand out among 
their peers as examples of excellence in K-12 education. By setting 
high academic goals and enabling students to attain them, the Bath 
Village School and the Hollis Brookline High School have opened up a 
world of academic and professional opportunities for the next 
generation of young people.
  It is important that we celebrate the efforts of teachers and 
administrators at schools such as the Bath Village School and the 
Hollis/Brookline High School and recognize the invaluable contribution 
they have made to the lives of New Hampshire's children. I am extremely 
proud that the Bath Village School and the Hollis/Brookline High School 
have each been honored with this prestigious award.
