                     Wednesday, September 21, 2016

  Ms. EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to 
congratulate the students, parents, and faculty of Eastern Senior 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 Eastern Senior 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, Eastern Senior 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.
