“Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor of West Mesa High School in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which was recently selected as one of America's best high schools by Newsweek magazine. Since 1966, West Mesa High School has been the heart of Albuquerque's west side. Recently the school was a great partner when they hosted one of my job fairs, as well as my service academy nomination information night. Last year the school had an outstanding 75 percent of its students enrolled in at least one advanced placement course, the kind of rigorous classes that push students to achieve their potential and lead our Nation in the 21st century. The late educator, Jaime Escalante, associated with the film ``Stand and Deliver,'' told his students, You do not enter the future; you create the future. I want to thank the West Mesa Mustangs for pushing themselves and for creating a bright future for themselves and for our community. Again, congratulations on this well-deserved recognition. ____________________”
