                        Wednesday, May 25, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate the Creston High School iJAG program as they took top 
honors at the 2016 Career Development Conference on May 3, 2016.
  iJAG is a program that relies on real-world, project-based 
instructional methods and unconventional approaches to personal 
connections with students. The Creston High School program, directed by 
instructor Jerry Hartman, competed against more than 40 iJAG programs 
from throughout Iowa and Illinois. The students competed in contests 
about employment preparation and interview skills, critical thinking in 
business situations, leadership skills and basic business methods.
  Mr. Speaker, the success of this team, their program and its director 
demonstrates the rewards of hard work, dedication, and perseverance. I 
am honored to represent them and the other team members in the United 
States Congress. I know all of my colleagues in the United States House 
of Representatives will join me in congratulating these young people 
for competing in this rigorous competition and wishing them all nothing 
but continued success.
