  Mr. BRENDAN F. BOYLE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
recognize a group of ambitious students from Central High School in 
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Since Central High School was chartered in 
1836 and opened in 1838, it has established a reputation and a rich 
history that sets it apart from other high schools in Pennsylvania and 
throughout the United States.
  Central High School offers many prestigious academic opportunities 
for their students, including the International Baccalaureate Program, 
Advanced Placement courses, and dual enrollment programs. They value 
curiosity, high academic achievement, inclusive extra-curricular 
activities and service, which are essential to cultivating a student's 
overall positive experience. The school's dedication to building a 
cohesive path for their students is, in part, why I was grateful for 
the privilege to provide several Central High School students with the 
unique opportunity to attend the presidential inauguration on January 
20, 2017.
  The inauguration welcomed Avery Adeshigbin, Romie Azor, David Bango, 
Chris Bruch, Monet Bunch, Jasmine Duong, Sh-Mya Durham, Darnell Faison, 
Michael Granovskiy, Lindsay Holmes, Kayla Jaquay-Davis, Morgan Mifflin, 
Tamika Miles, Han Nguyen, Sorya Noun, Aliyyah Ouattara, Sundus Pervez, 
Aniyah Pinkney, Kristian Rhim, Bruno Sauli, Kejsi Shahaj, Sahmir 
Thompson, Krystal Torres, Tiffany Tran, David Weihe, Marguerite Faison, 
William Graham, Michael Horwits, Ashley Zeserman, and Patrick Elgert.
  The hard work these students put towards their academics and their 
unwavering commitment to civic engagement is inspiring. I hope their 
curiosity and tenacity persists in future endeavors and they continue 
to make an important difference throughout my home state of 
Pennsylvania.
