  Mr. FLETCHER. Mr. Speaker, today I acknowledge an outstanding 
educator in the Central Kentucky community. Mr. Hobert Hurt has 
dedicated twenty-six years to teaching technology at Leestown Math, 
Science, and Technology Middle School. Known as one of the founders of 
the math, science, and technology magnet program, Mr. Hurt has touched 
and improved the lives of so many throughout his years of dedicated 
service to our community.
  Recently, Mr. Hurt was honored as Middle School Teacher of the Year 
for Fayette County. It is obvious that Mr. Hurt has worked hard to 
produce a positive change. His goal to ensure that middle school 
students have the opportunity to develop and hone their technological 
skills has been realized, as countless students are equipped to handle 
our increasingly technological society by attending the school he 
helped to develop.
  It is a pleasure to recognize Hobert Hurt on the House floor today 
for his superior work in the field of education. As Middle School 
Teacher of the Year, our community salutes Mr. Hurt for his many years 
of dedicated teaching.
