                       TRIBUTE TO RICHARD LoSARDO

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, I recognize Richard LoSardo, the 
Martin County Teacher of the Year, from Martin County High School in 
Stuart, FL.
  Richie's colleagues believe he encapsulates what it means to be a 
Martin County High School Tiger. He is a dedicated and passionate 
educator committed to seeing his students and colleagues succeed. He 
leads various professional learning sessions and shares engagement 
strategies with others with a high level of success.
  Throughout Richie's career in teaching, he has taken on various 
Advancement Placement and Advanced International Certificate of 
Education Programs that furthered his learning and pushed him 
professionally. This earned his students' appreciation as they saw 
Richie continue to further his education after he graduated from Martin 
County High School.
  Richie is the school's debate coach, leading the program and 
traveling with students nationwide for championship competitions. He 
earned recognition from the National Speech and Debate Association as a 
Diamond Coach. He also has taken on leadership roles and officer 
positions in the debate community while hosting tournaments at Martin 
County High School.
  I am grateful for Richie's commitment to his students and work across 
the Martin County community. I look forward to learning more about his 
good work in the classroom in the years ahead.
