CONGRATULATING CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS HIGH SCHOOL EXPLORERS

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 64 (Wednesday, April 9, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 64 (Wednesday, April 9, 2025)] [House] [Page H1554] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] CONGRATULATING CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS HIGH SCHOOL EXPLORERS (Mr. GIMENEZ asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. GIMENEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate my high school alma mater, the Christopher Columbus Explorers, for winning the national basketball championship. After securing their fourth consecutive State championship in Florida's Class 7A, the Explorers made school history by capturing their first national title and county history as the only Miami-Dade County high school to ever win a national basketball title. These young men have demonstrated relentless dedication and perseverance throughout the season. I am proud to see that their hard work and commitment was rewarded. I extend my congratulations to Coach Andrew Moran, his staff, and the entire team on this remarkable accomplishment. Through unity, tradition, and excellence they have cemented their place in Columbus and Miami-Dade County history. ``Forward''; ``Adelante.'' ____________________
