               HONORING SANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL DEBATE TEAM

  (Mr. CORREA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor the Santa Ana High 
School debate team, and their coach, Sal Tinajero. They won the 
National High School Division Speech Championship. They took first 
place, and they won the School of Excellence Award.
  More than 1400 schools across the country competed at the National 
Speech and Debate Association. This is the largest speech and debate 
tournament in the Nation, and Santa Ana High School took first place.
  This is a huge honor. It shows that hard work and dedication pays 
off. I thank our national award-winning coach, Sal Tinajero, as well, 
for his dedication to the students. Coach Tinajero started the debate 
program at Santa Ana High School a few years ago, and those students 
have become tremendous debaters.
  Coach Sal has shown the Nation that Santa Ana is, again, home of 
champions. Santa Ana students, we are proud of you. We are tremendously 
excited that you, again, have shown us what you are made of. Coach Sal, 
muchas gracias.
