                          Monday, June 1, 2015

  Ms. FRANKEL of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 
centennial anniversary of Fort Lauderdale High School, a vibrant and 
innovative school in South Florida. The home of the Flying L's that 
opened its doors in 1915 to a graduating class of 5 people has now 
grown to a diverse community of more than 2,100 students.
  Fort Lauderdale High School is celebrating a long history of academic 
excellence. It has consistently been ranked among the best public high 
schools, not only in Florida but also across the nation, with US News 
awarded Fort Lauderdale High School the silver medal for education in 
2015.
  Under the current leadership of Principal Priscilla Ribeiro, the 
school is working to meet the needs of a new generation, offering 
students many opportunities through a state-recognized magnet program, 
an array of Advanced Placement courses, a competitive athletic program, 
as well as an active alumni community. The school continues to strive 
to embrace their motto, ``Strong and True, White and Blue.''
  In honor of Fort Lauderdale High School's centennial anniversary, I 
want to congratulate the faculty, administration, students, and alumni 
on all of their successes and wish them a bright and prosperous future.

                          ____________________
