  Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay special recognition to 
the Blessed Sacrament Catholic School as it celebrates its 100th 
anniversary.
  Blessed Sacrament Catholic School was founded in 1915 as the first 
Jesuit sponsored school in Hollywood. Initially founded on Hollywood 
Boulevard, the Blessed Sacrament Catholic School was relocated to 
Sunset Boulevard where it currently stands. The new parish was later 
designated as an official historic landmark.
  Throughout its hundred year service, the school has been dedicated to 
its mission statement, ``As a learning community, we commit ourselves 
to the education of the whole person by developing mind, body, and 
spirit of our children. We are focused on teaching responsible 
communication skills that fosters excellence in self-expression and 
community involvement.'' The school has developed a rigorous curriculum 
consisting of a balance between college preparatory classes and 
voluntary community outreach. By providing such an academically rich, 
faith filled learning environment, Blessed Sacrament Catholic School 
has shaped its students into successful business owners, film 
producers, community leaders and philanthropists.

  While upholding strong academic excellence, Blessed Sacrament 
Catholic School truly reflects the rich diversity of Los Angeles. 
Currently the school exceeds the state's average private school 
diversity rate, with students coming for a multitude of backgrounds. 
The school's success not be possible without a highly dedicated 
faculty, staff and administration who selflessly invest their time into 
productively influencing each student.
  I ask all Members to join me today in honoring Blessed Sacrament 
Catholic School upon the celebration of its 100th year of educating 
children in the Jesuit tradition and bettering the Hollywood community.
