                      TRIBUTE TO ANGELA McFARLAND

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, I recognize Angela McFarland, the 
Escambia County Teacher of the Year at the Escambia Virtual Academy and 
West Florida High School in Pensacola, FL.
  Angela designs interactive lesson plans to prepare her students for 
business careers. She assists students with their projects, which 
consist of using PowerPoint and other software programs, to ensure they 
grasp the lesson material. Often, her students are among the school 
district's most prolific earners of industry certifications in the 
business field.
  Angela's colleagues view her as a valuable asset, not only to their 
students, but also as a mentor to new business class instructors at the 
school. She coaches these teachers and presents them at various career 
and technical education teacher training sessions to ensure they are 
prepared to guide students to success.
  Angela teaches business and multimedia classes at West Florida High 
School and has worked in the Escambia County School District since 
1996. She previously taught at Pine Forest High School and Booker T. 
Washington High School. Since 2009, Angela also has taught at Escambia 
Virtual Academy.
  I extend my deepest gratitude and best wishes to Angela for her 
commitment to her students. I look forward to hearing about her 
continued good work in the years to come.
