  TRINIDAD GARZA EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL NAMED NATIONAL BLUE RIBBON 
                                 SCHOOL

  (Mr. VEASEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. VEASEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the faculty, 
staff, and students of Trinidad Garza Early College High School at 
Mountain View for being named a 2015 National Blue Ribbon School.
  For the last 33 years, the Department of Education has recognized 
superior schools for their academic achievement, their progress in 
closing achievement gaps, and for demonstrating that all students can 
achieve high levels of success.
  Nominated by top education officials in Texas, Trini Garza is one of 
335 schools across the country being recognized as a 2015 Blue Ribbon 
School and one of 28 such schools in the great State of Texas.
  As a dual-degree school, Trinity Garza has made it a priority to make 
students college ready, life ready, and career ready.
  I am proud to represent a school that has truly excelled since 
opening in 2006. Trini Garza, along with 334 other schools, will be 
recognized at a ceremony in Washington, D.C., on November 9 and 10.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Trini Garza Early 
College High School on this important accomplishment.
