I rise today to recognize Freeport High School in Freeport. IIlinois. for their unique and historic mascot known as the "Pretzels." Freeport has been known as "The Pretzel City" for over a hundred years. and Freeport High Schools mascot helps reflect this tradition. The citys namesake serves as a reminder of its unique cultural heritage. in which early German immigrants brought over their love of pretzels to establish bakeries that helped introduce this staple into the United States. As the mother of three sons who were educated by our public schools. I am proud of the students of Freeport High School for their school spirit and continued enthusiasm in promoting this iconic mascot.
