          RECOGNIZING THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. ADAM SMITH

                             of washington

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 20, 2012

  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Lincoln High 
School, in Tacoma, WA, for its many achievements over the almost one 
hundred years it has been open, and to congratulate all who work and 
study at Lincoln as they prepare to celebrate the school's 100th 
anniversary.
  Lincoln High School accepted its first students in 1914. Since then, 
the teachers at Lincoln have educated thousands who would go on to 
graduate, and the school has supported many of its students by raising 
scholarship funds for future graduates. In the coming year, Lincoln 
High School hopes to raise $100,000 in scholarship money to celebrate 
their centennial anniversary. This year's fundraising will build upon 
the successes during the school's 75th anniversary, when $75,000 was 
raised to support 12 graduating students. Lincoln High School's 
organizing committee has hosted various fundraisers to connect students 
and communities through education.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I honor Lincoln High 
School. Schools like Lincoln High School keeps students motivated and 
active by ensuring that all are given the opportunity to have a bright 
future.
