  Mr. JENKINS of West Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize a team 
of talented students from Huntington High School and Huntington Middle 
School in Huntington, West Virginia, for their participation in the 
2015 Science Olympiad National Tournament at the University of 
Nebraska-Lincoln May 15-16. Their participation is a first for any 
school from West Virginia and is testament to the great accomplishments 
of West Virginia students in the subject areas of science, technology, 
engineering and math.
  It is these students that are our future engineers, mathematicians, 
physicians, and if the results from this competition are any 
indication, our future is in great hands. I also want to recognize the 
teachers and other volunteers that made this event possible to attend 
for the students. The knowledge and passion they convey to the students 
is certainly reflected in the impressive work that they do.
  In closing, I would like to list the names of those who represented 
the great state of West Virginia at the 2015 Science Olympiad National 
Tournament:
  Science Olympiad team members from Huntington Middle School include: 
Team Coach Leann Haines, Tess Anderson, Beth Bell, Khaled El-Shazly, 
Allyson Ey, Elena Ferguson, Shylah Johnson, Phillip Murphy, Kayla
