  Mr. BARBER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Benson 
Unified School District on the high honor of being named Arizona's top 
performing school district.
   The Benson School District serves 1200 students in the community of 
Benson as well as other areas across San Pedro Valley. Their mission is 
to provide a safe and welcoming learning community that prepares 
students to be competitive and productive citizens.
   The success of Benson Schools comes after years of commitment to 
proven instructional practices and a strong academic curriculum for 
their students. This dedication has led to the accolades we celebrate 
today.
   This distinguished recognition is testament to the hard work and 
dedication Superintendent David Woodall, the school board, and the 
dedicated staff and teachers of the district. I am proud to represent 
these outstanding schools in Congress.
