On the recordMarch 4, 2003
I rise today to honor Lutheran Schools for their continuing contributions to educating young Americans. Lutheran schools impact not only the intellectual life of our Nation's youth but also their moral, physical, and social lives. The Lutheran schools in Louisiana deliver high-quality education and challenge students to reach their potential. The administrators and faculty provide students an environment that encourages honesty, trust and responsibility. This year more than half a million students in the United States will be enriched by their Lutheran school education. America's Lutheran schools are internationally acclaimed for their academic excellence and can boast a student-teacher ration of 14 to 1. During National Lutheran Schools Week and throughout the year, I salute the Lutheran schools, students, parents, teachers, administrators, and congregations across the Nation for their ongoing contributions to education.
