                       Thursday, October 10, 2013

  Mr. HUDSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Jesse Carson High 
School. This school, established in 2006, has been awarded the Wells 
Fargo Conference Cup for overall interscholastic athletic performance 
within its individual conference.
  Last year, the school's volleyball team won the Western Regional 
Championship, and the baseball and softball teams were also tournament 
champions.
  These accomplishments exemplify the hard work and dedication of the 
students, teachers and mentors of Jesse Carson High School.
  Principal Kelly Withers is dedicated to her students and believes 
that with the right opportunity and environment, each student can 
achieve his or her goals.
  I believe that a strong athletic program teaches students the 
importance of teamwork and how to overcome challenges. Along with a 
strong academic background, these skills will help our students in 
future endeavors.
  Jesse Carson High School has made the Eighth District of North 
Carolina proud, and its success serves as an example to other schools 
in North Carolina and across the nation.
