                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, October 30, 2019

  Mr. DEUTCH. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Atlantic Technical 
High School of Coconut Creek, Florida as a 2019 National Blue Ribbon 
School. Atlantic Technical was recognized as an exemplary high 
performing school by the Department of Education.
  At Atlantic Technical, the use of technology is incorporated into 
every aspect of education. Small class sizes and encouraging teachers 
embrace personalization among students. As upperclassmen, students can 
also select from a wide array of technical programs and even receive 
college credits.
  Atlantic Technical has been rated an ``A'' school for the past eight 
years. It also had the honor of being recognized by The Washington Post 
as one of ``America's Most Challenging High Schools.'' The school's 
credentials surpass Florida's state academic requirements and its 
unique design enables students to immerse themselves in a rigorous 
learning environment that encourages them to pursue their interests.
  I ask that my colleagues today join me in thanking Director Robert 
Crawford and the staff at Atlantic Technical High School for the 
amazing work they have done over the years to educate, as well as the 
student body for striving to be next generation of movers and shakers 
in the community.
