STEVE ISRAEL of new york in the house of representatives Monday, April 26, 2010 Mr. ISRAEL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge Half Hollow Hills East High School, which was named the New York State champion of the We the People: The Citizens and the Constitution competition. The We the People competition is an extremely prestigious national academic contest that promotes the study of the United States Constitution. The students from Half Hollow Hills East who participated in the simulated congressional hearings were judged on their knowledge of and ability to apply the Constitution to current events. The students earned the best scores of the nine high schools that [[Page 6321]] competed in the New York State Final Hearings in March and as a result, will represent New York State in the national finals. I am proud to recognize Half Hollow Hills East High School for this outstanding academic achievement. ____________________
