Enter the contest to have President Obama speak at your high school commencement


President Obama & Department of Education Announce Race to the Top High
School Commencement Challenge

WASHINGTON - The White House and the Department of Education announced today
the first annual Race to the Top High School Commencement Challenge,
inviting public schools across the country to compete to have President
Obama speak at their graduation this spring.
"Public schools that encourage systemic reform and embrace effective
approaches to teaching and learning help prepare America's students to
graduate ready for college and a career, and enable them to out-compete any
worker, anywhere in the world," said President Obama in a video
released today. "This is your
opportunity to show me why your school exemplifies the best that our
education system has to offer."

Applications should be completed by students and must be submitted by a high
school's principal to www.WhiteHouse.gov/Commencement no later than Monday,
March 15th at 11:59 pm EST.
   Hope you enjoy! :)
