On the recordDecember 10, 2024
It is my honor and privilege today to recognize Ambassadors Preparatory Academy in Galveston, Texas, which I am proud to represent, for being selected as a National Blue Ribbon School for 2024 by the U.S. Department of Education. Mr. Speaker, the National Blue Ribbon School program seeks to honor schools from around the country that have a vision of excellence and hold their students and faculty to a high standard. I can't think of a more worthy school than Ambassadors Preparatory Academy. Since 2007, this school has pushed each and every student, giving students from low socio-economic backgrounds a chance of high-quality education and fostering holistic student development through the collective efforts of dedicated staff, dedicated parents, and dedicated community members. I believe their mission, Mr. Speaker, and their dedication to it have rightfully earned them this great honor. Their commitment to providing high-quality education through, student-centered, data-driven instruction in a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment builds a strong foundation for lifelong learning. Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the superintendent, Dr. Rachelle Joseph; the wonderful teachers; the educators; and the staff at Ambassadors Preparatory Academy, as well as the dedicated students and their families on this great achievement. {time} 1915 In Honor of David Andrew Christian
