                       Tuesday, February 12, 2013

  Mr. GARCIA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 15th 
anniversary of Archbishop Coleman Carroll High School in Miami, 
Florida. Founded in 1998 and administered by the Carmelite Sisters, 
Carroll offers its students the opportunity to pursue a rich academic 
curriculum in an environment that fosters both intellectual and 
spiritual strength.
  Archbishop Coleman Carroll High School has established itself as a 
school with a challenging and thorough academic program while forming a 
partnership between students, parents and teachers. This has fostered a 
family-centered environment that extends beyond the classroom and leads 
to the success of its students. As such, Carroll's alumni have gone on 
to some of our nation's most prestigious universities and are leaders 
in their communities.
  Part of what has made Carroll such a successful school is its 
faculty's focus on ensuring that its students excel both inside and 
outside of the classroom. In addition to its robust academics, 
Archbishop Coleman Carroll is home to an outstanding athletic program 
that has earned the Bulldogs numerous district and regional 
championships. Moreover, students at Carroll can participate in 18 
different extracurricular clubs, nine honor societies and a campus 
ministry program designed to nurture faith and good values.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored that Florida's 26th Congressional District 
is home to Archbishop Coleman Carroll, as well as most of its students 
and ask that my colleagues join me in congratulating its students, 
faculty and parents on its 15th anniversary.
