                 Recognizing Souderton Area High School

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a school in 
my district. On November 30, 2017, Souderton Area High School was 
recognized as a National Banner Unified Champion School by the Special 
Olympics International headquarters.
  Through the diligence and compassion of Athletic Director Dennis 
Stanton and Supervisor of Special Education Megan Zweiback, the 
introduction of unified sports into the school has greatly enhanced the 
curriculum of special-needs students and allowed them to compete with 
other students in interscholastic competition.
  One of only four schools in the Nation and the first in Pennsylvania 
to have been honored in this respect, I am proud of the work done at 
Souderton Area High School to support and enhance the education and 
recreational development of all students.
