             CONGRATULATING HOLLIS F. PRICE MIDDLE COLLEGE

  (Mr. COHEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. COHEN. Mr. Speaker, I want to take this moment to congratulate a 
high school in my district, the Hollis F. Price Middle College, for 
receiving the U.S. News & World Report Bronze recognition as one of 
2012's Best High Schools in the country.
  U.S. News & World Report ranked nearly 22,000 public high schools 
across the country, and I'm proud that one of Memphis City Schools was 
recognized. This school was named after the fourth president of 
LeMoyne-Owen College, an Historically Black College and University in 
Memphis. Hollis-Price is a collaborative effort between Memphis City 
Schools and LeMoyne-Owen to improve graduation rates and provide 
accessibility for students to attend college.
  I want to commend Principal Daphne Beasley, all the faculty, and the 
staff for their hard work and dedication. And surely the students I 
want to congratulate, too, and their parents on their great 
achievement. I was proud to speak at their graduation a few years ago. 
It's a great school. Continue to make Memphis proud.
