  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to commend Dr. Carlotta 
Morales, the Principal of Saint Agatha Catholic School in my hometown 
of Miami.
  Through her hard work and dedication, Dr. Morales has upgraded her 
school's facilities, advanced the education of her students, and 
improved the relationship between students, faculty and parents.
  Dr. Morales has shown us what can be achieved with a positive 
attitude and a firm belief in self-reliance.
  For her wonderful leadership in both her school and our community, 
Dr. Morales has been honored by both the National Association of 
Elementary School Principals and the Department of Education by being 
named one of this year's national distinguished principals.
  Through her work, Dr. Morales demonstrates that our children are our 
Nation's most important assets, and her fine work on behalf of South 
Florida's youngsters is a shining example to be followed by educators 
everywhere.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Dr. Carlotta Morales 
as she continues her wonderful work at Saint Agatha Catholic school in 
Miami.
