“students from MAST Academy, a high school in my Congressional district, recently represented Florida proudly in the national ``We the People, the Citizen and the Constitution'' competition. For the first time ever, due to hard work and diligent preparation, MAST Academy competed against 50 schools from every State in the Union. I warmly congratulate the following students: Bianca Badia, Tanaz Berahman, Lisette Cabezas, Ama Campbell, Angela Casale, Christopher Cruz, Maria Cullen, Melissa Estape, Myriam Ferzli, Tina Fregeolle, James Gawley, Maria Guerrero, Jackie Lee, Kathryn Magil, Yanique McGregor, William Mitchell, Melissa Montanez, Katherine Powell, Crystal Prince, Lauren Smith, Julian Strolen, Chayenne Thomas, Joelle Urrutia, Francisco Vasquez, and Corey West. With the help and guidance of their teacher, Tanya Hanson, these young students demonstrated vast knowledge and understanding of our U.S. history as well as the fundamental principles and values of our constitutional democracy. I ask that my colleagues in Congress join me in commending these fine students and their excellent teacher for an outstanding achievement.”
