             TRINIDAD GARZA HIGH SCHOOL RECEIVES ACT AWARD

  (Mr. VEASEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. VEASEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate Trinidad Garza Early 
College High School, in Dallas, for receiving the 2016 ACT High School 
Exemplar in College and Career Readiness Award.
  Since 2013, the annual ACT College and Career Readiness Campaign has 
recognized participating high schools and community colleges for their 
outstanding efforts in education. The prestigious award is presented to 
only one school per State that demonstrates exceptional efforts in 
preparing students for college and career readiness. Given Trinidad 
Garza's commitment to preparing students for success in higher 
education and the workforce, this accolade is well-deserved. The award 
also celebrates individual students within participating schools for 
their outstanding progress on their ACT scores, such as Trinidad Garza 
seniors Paola Soto, Ivan Gonzales, Barry Levine, and Lizbeth Garcia.
  I am extremely proud of Trinidad Garza Early College High School for 
representing the State of Texas and the 33rd Congressional District.
  You are an example of what a dedicated group of educators can 
accomplish when it is committed to empowering its students.
  Once again, congratulations to everyone at Trinidad Garza Early 
College High School, and keep up the good work.
