                     FOREST PARK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

  (Mr. HILL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Forest Park 
Elementary School for over 100 years of success in central Arkansas. 
Built in 1913, Forest Park offers a variety of educational clubs and 
experiences that support life skills and encourage teamwork, good 
sportsmanship and academic growth.
  I loved my elementary school years at Forest Park, and I am happy 
that my children enjoyed a fine experience in those halls as well.
  Located in the heart of Little Rock, Forest Park is led by Principal 
Theresa Courtney-Ketcher and serves 460 students in pre-K through fifth 
grade.
  During the 2013-2014 school year, Forest Park was recognized as a 
National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence by the U.S. Department of 
Education. This school is consistently a top ranked elementary school 
in Arkansas.
  I would like to extend my congratulations to Principal Courtney-
Ketcher, Forest Park Elementary and its faculty, and wish it much 
continued success in the generations to come.
