  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Kent Muyskens for being named Northwest Iowa STEM Teacher 
of the Year by the Iowa Governor's STEM Advisory Council.
  Kent lives in Yale, Iowa and teaches chemistry at Carroll High 
School. He was selected because of nominations from colleagues that 
praised him for his hard work and innovation in the area of Science, 
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. He worked with the community, 
engaged students in the process and used innovative instructional 
methods. Kent was also praised for his work with Project Lead the Way, 
taking students to a NASA space shuttle competition and writing new 
curriculum.
  Mr. Speaker, Kent is an Iowan who has made his community and school 
district very proud. He has worked hard and dedicated himself to making 
STEM education a priority. It is with great honor that I recognize him

join me in congratulating Kent for this award and in wishing him 
continued success in all his future endeavors.
