                        HONORING HIGH TECH HIGH

  (Mrs. DAVIS of California asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. DAVIS of California. Mr. Speaker, I join my colleague, Mr. 
Peters, and rise to congratulate the remarkable achievement of San 
Diego's very own High Tech High robotics team.
  This past week, the team participated in the largest and more 
prestigious school robotics world championship, and then came home 
taking the event's biggest prize. On behalf of San Diegans, we couldn't 
be any more proud of these remarkable and talented students, who are 
destined to change our world with their ideas and innovations.

  High Tech High represents all that is possible in K-12 education. 
Some of these students never envisioned themselves in a STEM field, and 
now they have internships at some of the top STEM companies in the 
country.
  I was able to visit and see the robotics team in action, and it was 
clear to me that the spirit of teamwork and cooperation I witnessed 
will make them successful in STEM fields and beyond. These students 
represent the best and the brightest in our Nation, and we stand and 
congratulate their hard-earned win and know that there is more to come.
