               ROME HIGH SCHOOL ON BEST HIGH SCHOOLS LIST

  (Mr. GRAVES of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GRAVES of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Rome 
High School, which was ranked as one of the ``Best High Schools in 
America'' by U.S. News & World Report for the fourth year in a row. It 
also earned a silver ranking, meaning Rome High is one of the top 10 
percent of schools nationwide.
  These high achievements are evidence of the commitment, the 
dedication, and the hard work put forth by Rome High students, their 
faculty, and the staff. In fact, when the Rome News Tribune asked him 
about the rankings, Principal Evans noted: ``We are striving for a gold 
rank of course.''
  Mr. Speaker, this commitment to hard work and doing the best you can 
embodies the values that make northwest Georgia a great place to live, 
to work, and to raise a family.
  Congratulations to all those involved in the Rome High School 
community. Enjoy your summer break. You have earned it.
