                     Wednesday, September 21, 2016

  Ms. EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to 
congratulate the students, parents, and faculty of Ron Brown High 
School for their commitment to science, technology, engineering, and 
mathematics enrichment, and for participating in my annual Science and 
Technology Braintrust.
  The teachers at Ron Brown High School are committed to ensuring that 
our country's youth is exposed to a STEM curriculum, which is paramount 
to the future of our country. A prevalent theme amongst successful STEM 
professionals is the curiosity and drive instilled by their teachers at 
a young age. We must continue to invest in schools that highlight a 
STEM education, so that all students will have an opportunity to one 
day be an astrophysicist, doctor, engineer, or a geologist.
  Mr. Speaker, Ron Brown High School is a true advocate of STEM 
education and deserves recognition for its work. With great pride I can 
say that because of this school's commitment to STEM education, our 
country's youth is gaining the skills needed to compete in a rapidly 
globalizing world.
