On the recordApril 9, 2002
I want to congratulate three outstanding high schools in my district for having won championships: Westinghouse, State of Illinois Boys' Championship; Providence St. Mel, Elite 8 Illinois high school regional champions. And I might add that 95 percent of all the students at this school go to college. I would also like to give accolades to Marshall High School for winning the city of Chicago's girls' championship under the leadership of Mr. Pitman and Dorothy Gaiter, who is the winningest female basketball coach in the United States of America. I congratulate all of them.
