                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 20, 2017

  Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take some time today to 
honor one of my constituents, Mr. Tony Napoli, for his immense 
dedication to serving Santa Ana's youth.
  Mr. Napoli is an accomplished businessman with a background in 
technology, having graduated from the Connecticut College of 
Electricians as an electronic technician. But Mr. Napoli is far more 
than just a businessman. In his spare time, Mr. Napoli volunteers as a 
Chamber Ambassador to the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce, and his great 
service earned him the Ambassador of the Year Award in 2011.
  Mr. Napoli fully embodies the value of community service in all 
aspects of his life. Concerned with local high school graduation rates 
and skill level of recent graduates, Mr. Napoli with the Santa Ana 
Chamber of Commerce partnered with the Santa Ana Unified School 
District to start the High School Incorporated Program, a unique 
collaboration that seeks to provide vocational training and career 
advice to high school students.
  Passionate about investing in youth, Mr. Napoli chose to give even 
more of his free time to this program, especially the Automotive and 
Transportation division. Mr. Napoli also serves as a Business Advisor, 
advising the division on budget matters and providing valuable 
mentorship while also consistently visiting the inspirational students 
in class.
  Mr. Napoli's dedication and service has helped raise the graduation 
rate for the program to 95 percent with many students already fully 
certified and well equipped for their bright futures.
  Mr. Speaker, Mr. Napoli is an example to us all of the incredible 
value found in community engagement. I am honored to recognize Mr. 
Napoli for doing his part in bridging the gap, and thank him for the 
positive impact he has made on the Santa Ana and Orange County 
community.
