  Mr. HASTINGS of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Suncoast 
High School in Riviera Beach, Florida on the occasion of its 25th 
anniversary as an institution of secondary education in Palm Beach 
County.
  This remarkable school is perennially ranked as a top high school in 
America, as it offers a wealth of coursework in Math, Science and 
Engineering, Computer Science, International Baccalaureate studies, as 
well as Interactive Technology magnet programs. Children from across 
Palm Beach County seek admission to Suncoast for its acknowledged 
excellence in comprehensively educating students. The school has also 
become renowned in the community for the diligent attention that the 
faculty and staff offer to their students.

These students leave prepared for whatever career aspirations they may 
have. And for those that do choose to pursue an undergraduate degree, 
Suncoast students do not simply matriculate. They are challenged to 
succeed in college, and many have gone on to have successful careers in 
an array of fields. Currently led by Principal Dr. Linda Cartledge and 
a very talented faculty and staff, Suncoast has earned the respect of 
professional educators from across the country.
  I am always delighted and impressed when I hear about the latest 
awards and honors accrued by Suncoast High School. Twenty-five years of 
high-standard education is something we should all admire. Suncoast is 
representative of the best America has to offer its young people, and 
its reputation is one to which all schools aspire.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my distinct pleasure to recognize Suncoast High 
School for their invaluable commitment to preparing the young minds of 
Palm Beach County, and their leadership as a positive example for 
success in secondary education. I congratulate them again and wish them 
many more years as one of America's top high schools.
