Mr. SUBRAMANYAM. Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the 451 graduates of John Champe High School's class of 2025.

This class has a lot to be proud of. In their time as Knights, the girls' soccer team made history by winning their first State title. A member of the swimming team earned a State title at this year's Virginia High School League Swim and Dive State championships.

The students performed in musicals and theater productions, including Disney's ``The Little Mermaid.'' My family is already looking forward to seeing the next show.

They certainly have left their mark on the John Champe community. Whether it is college, the military, the workforce, or the trades, I look forward to seeing all that the students accomplish.
