Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to The Donoho School in Anniston, Alabama, on the occasion of the celebration the of school's 40th anniversary on Friday, May 7, 2004.

The Donoho School is an independent, college-preparatory day school in Anniston, Alabama, enrolling 366 students in pre-kindergarten through grade twelve. It was founded as a secondary institution in 1963 and chartered under the name of The Anniston Academy. In 1976, the name was changed to The Donoho School in recognition of Mrs. Harriet Wallis Donoho, a founder and benefactor of the school.

The Donoho School's mission is to provide a quality college-preparatory education to capable, highly motivated students. It is committed to the development of the total child by providing a challenging curriculum in an atmosphere conducive to good citizenship, personal integrity and devout religious principles. The school's academic, athletics, fine arts and other student activities are designed to fulfill this commitment.

As the Congressional representative for Anniston, Alabama, I have long been aware of the outstanding reputation The Donoho School holds in the local community and surrounding areas. I am proud to salute this fine school on its 40th anniversary.
