                         TRIBUTE TO CARLA ROSS

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, today I am pleased to recognize 
Carla Ross, the Escambia County Teacher of the Year from Booker T. 
Washington High School in Pensacola, FL.
  Carla was recognized for bringing enthusiasm into the classroom every 
day. She has a different style of teaching, with her classroom being 
more of a hands-on experience, which her students find to be more 
enjoyable and have excelled in this leaning environment.
  Carla is an instructor for the marketing and entrepreneurship academy 
at Booker T. Washington High School. She became a teacher after moving 
to Pensacola and has been with Escambia County schools for 35 years.
  She never envisioned herself becoming a teacher, having hated school 
when she was in high school and college. Carla fell in love with this 
career after working with her students and brought her passion for the 
business world into the schoolhouse.
  She immerses her students into the real world of work, teaching every 
aspect of running a business, production, advertising, sales, and 
distribution. This provides nonstop activity for her students to stay 
on task. They know their work is done under the watchful eye of someone 
they see as more than a teacher.
  I extend my best wishes to Carla for all the hard work she has done 
for her students. I look forward to hearing of her continued success in 
the years ahead.
