  Mr. BROWN of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Katherine O. Henderson for receiving the 2009 Milken Education Family 
Foundation National Educator Award.
  Ms. Henderson, a teacher at West Ashley High School in Charleston, 
joins a prestigious group of Milken Educator Award recipients, and I am 
proud to have one of my constituents recognized as one of these 
talented educators. She has made a remarkable impact on the youth of 
South Carolina through her innovative teaching strategies and 
inspirational teaching quality. Not only has she provided models of 
excellence for the profession, but has motivated students, colleagues 
and members throughout her community.
  The Milken Educator Awards motto states, ``The future belongs to the 
educated.'' With that said, thank you, Katherine O. Henderson, for your 
outstanding commitment and influence on the future generations of South 
Carolina's First District.
