                 RECOGNIZING DuBOIS AREA MIDDLE SCHOOL

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
recognize the hardworking students, teachers, and staff at DuBois Area 
Middle School. For the fourth consecutive time, DuBois Area Middle 
School was one of over 465 schools from around the country named as a 
school to watch by the National Forum to Accelerate Middle-Grades 
Reform.
  The Schools to Watch recognition is based on a comprehensive 3-year 
review of the entire school. Only one other middle school in 
Pennsylvania has remained at the top with DuBois for their continuous 
designations.
  The students, teachers, and faculty members have joined together to 
create a learning community where everyone is supported. Every year, 
the community is challenged to maintain their success by continuing to 
put their best foot forward. This week, they were recognized for their 
12 years of excellence at the National Forum Schools to Watch 
Conference here in Washington, D.C.
  I look forward meeting representatives from the DuBois Area Middle 
School later today. Madam Speaker, the entire 15th Congressional 
District of Pennsylvania is proud of their continuous success.
