Chicago, IL. ---- 

Mr. Speaker,

         Today I would like to acknowledge students and teachers from Morgan Park High School, located in my First Congressional District, representing the south side of Chicago. Morgan Park High students posted world-class Advanced Placement test scores. Out of more than 15,000 high schools in 31 countries worldwide, more African American students at Morgan Park passed their AP exams in two courses- English language composition and European history- than at any other high school in the nation or in the world.

        The number of African American students passing these college-level exams at Morgan Park High is even more amazing considering the fact that African Americans are the most under-represented racial group in the country in AP classrooms. Thanks to the excellent teaching and tutelage of their teachers, Ms. Judith Keyhoe, Ms. Marilyn Jackson, and Mr. Martin Luzzo, all of the Morgan Park students deserve special recognition and congratulations here today. Morgan Park High School is a great example of what dedicated administrators, committed teachers, motivated students, and involved parents can accomplish. I ask all of my colleagues to please join me in congratulating this fine school for their wonderful achievement.

        Now, Mr. Speaker, I would like to name the individuals students that allowed Morgan Park to accomplish this special feat:
