  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, students from MAST Academy, a high 
school in my Congressional district, recently represented Florida 
proudly in the national ``We the People, the Citizen and the 
Constitution'' competition.
  For the first time ever, due to hard work and diligent preparation, 
MAST Academy competed against 50 schools from every State in the Union.
  I warmly congratulate the following students: Bianca Badia, Tanaz 
Berahman, Lisette Cabezas, Ama Campbell, Angela Casale, Christopher 
Cruz, Maria Cullen, Melissa Estape, Myriam Ferzli, Tina Fregeolle,

Kathryn Magil, Yanique McGregor, William Mitchell, Melissa Montanez, 
Katherine Powell, Crystal Prince, Lauren Smith, Julian Strolen, 
Chayenne Thomas, Joelle Urrutia, Francisco Vasquez, and Corey West.
  With the help and guidance of their teacher, Tanya Hanson, these 
young students demonstrated vast knowledge and understanding of our 
U.S. history as well as the fundamental principles and values of our 
constitutional democracy.
  I ask that my colleagues in Congress join me in commending these fine 
students and their excellent teacher for an outstanding achievement.
