Congratulations to Bethesda - Chevy Chase High School
Washington, D.C. - Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School (BCC) in my district for being named a GRAMMY Signature School by the GRAMMY Foundation. BCC is only one of 41 public high schools in the country to receive this prestigious award. The GRAMMY Foundation recognizes outstanding public high schools across the U.S. that demonstrate a commitment to music education. I am proud that, even in the midst of budget cuts, faculty and staff at BCC have managed to maintain and develop its arts and music program. BCC has successfully used the arts to captivate and engage students in the process of learning. The arts help children develop discipline as well as problem solving and critical thinking skills which are invaluable for future endeavors. I applaud BCC for its commitment to music education and for making a positive difference in the lives of young people.
