            RECOGNIZING NORTH CAROLINA'S TEACHER OF THE YEAR

  (Mr. McHENRY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. McHENRY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 2016 North 
Carolina Teacher of the Year, Bobbie Cavnar, from my district in Gaston 
County.
  Mr. Cavnar has spent the last 13 years teaching British literature at 
Belmont's South Point High School. He spent the last year receiving 
awards, tremendous awards, in fact. In May, he was named Gaston 
County's Teacher of the Year. Then, in December, he was named the best 
teacher for North Carolina's southwest region.
  Mr. Cavnar's students describe him as an engaging teacher who asks 
your opinion and values what you say and believe--maybe something we in 
the House could learn from--and the type of teacher who makes you want 
to come to school, perhaps the highest compliment you could pay to a 
high school teacher these days.
  Please join me in congratulating Bobbie Cavnar, and thank him for his 
dedication to the students of Gaston County.
