                       Tuesday, December 6, 2016

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Arvada High School for their creative and unique mobile application 
(app) that was entered in the 2016 Congressional App Challenge. As 
first-time participants in the challenge, teams from Arvada HS built an 
app to assist students in locating their lockers, giving the school a 
welcoming environment for new students and incoming freshmen.
  The students of Arvada High School spent countless hours and used 
numerous tools to learn about coding, further advancing their STEM 
education. Each team built their app in less than three months which 
shows their perseverance and dedication to this challenge and 
exemplifies the character and determination the faculty instills in the 
students at the school. One of the teams at the school won the ``Rookie 
of the Year'' award which further demonstrates their hard work on this 
project.
  I am proud of Arvada High School for their dedication and school 
spirit in this endeavor. I am certain the students in this school will 
exhibit the same dedication and character in all of their future 
accomplishments.
