                        Wednesday, July 18, 2012

  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor a 
remarkable young woman, Ms. Wairterrica Galmore, the Valedictorian of 
Coahoma Agricultural High School Class of 2012. Wairterrica is the 
proud daughter of Latoya Reddick and Eric Galmore. She has six siblings 
and they reside in Friars Point, Mississippi.
  Wairterrica has always viewed learning as a priority. She was an 
honor student throughout school, remaining on either the Superintendent 
or Principal lists. Her performance in the classroom landed Ms. Galmore 
placement in ``Accelerated'' and ``Gifted'' classes.
  As a student in high school Wairterrica maintained her placement in 
high accelerated courses, while also participating in extracurricular 
activities. She was a member of the Olive Branch All Girls High School 
Senior Choir and the Olive Branch High School Co-Ed Choir. Wairterrica 
also received many awards while at Olive Branch High School such as the 
Positive Award, Highest Average in Math, and the Highest Average in 
Art. Her test scores on the Mississippi Curriculum and Subject Test 
ranked in the ``Advanced and Proficient'' categories. Wairterrica was 
also one of two students chosen to represent Coahoma Agricultural High 
School in a women's conference at Tougaloo College in the summer of 
2011. Relocation caused Wairterrica to complete tenth through twelfth 
grade at Coahoma Agricultural High School, where despite the challenge 
she reigned victorious, gaining the honor of class Valedictorian.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask our colleagues to join me in recognizing Ms. 
Wairterrica Galmore, the Valedictorian for Coahoma Agricultural High 
School's Class of 2012.
