  Mr. HASTINGS of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Suncoast

America, as it

offers a wealth of coursework in Math, Science and Engineering, 
Computer Science, International Baccalaureate studies, as well as 
Interactive Technology magnet programs. Children from across Palm Beach 
County seek admission to Suncoast for its acknowledged excellence in 
comprehensively educating students. The school has also become renowned 
in the community for the diligent attention that the faculty and staff 
offer to their students. These students leave prepared for whatever 
career aspirations they may have. And for those that do choose to 
pursue an undergraduate degree, Suncoast students do not simply 
matriculate. They are challenged to succeed in college, and many have 
gone on to have successful careers in an array of fields. Currently led 
by Principal Dr. Linda Cartledge and a very talented faculty and staff, 
Suncoast has earned the respect of professional educators from across 
the country.
  I am always delighted and impressed when I hear about the latest 
awards and honors accrued by Suncoast High School. Twenty-five years of 
high-standard education is something we should all admire. Suncoast is 
representative of the best America has to offer its young people, and 
its reputation is one to which all schools aspire.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my distinct pleasure to recognize Suncoast High 
School for their invaluable commitment to preparing the young minds of 
Palm Beach County, and their leadership as a positive example for 
success in secondary education. I congratulate them again and wish them 
many more years as one of America's top high schools.
