                        TRIBUTE TO ANGELA HRITZ

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, today I recognize Angela Hritz, the 
Okaloosa County Teacher of the Year from Davidson Middle School in 
Crestview, FL.
  Angela received this award at her school district's annual banquet at 
the Emerald Coast Conference Center. She views teaching as a balancing 
act between challenging students and empowering them, and believes the 
most rewarding part of her job are the connections she makes with her 
students.
  In her classes, she incorporates English language arts standards and 
keeps her students engaged by using Socratic seminars to deepen their 
understanding and develop communication skills. She ensures that her 
classroom is a respectful environment for her students.
  Angela is a world history teacher and has taught at Davidson Middle 
School for more than 20 years. She earned a master's degree in 
educational leadership in 2008.
  I congratulate Angela for receiving this important recognition after 
decades of teaching and extend my best wishes to her. I look forward to 
hearing of her continued success in the years to come.
