                      Thursday, September 22, 2016

  Ms. EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to 
congratulate the students, parents, and faculty of H.D. Woodson Academy 
of Engineering 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 H.D. Woodson Academy of Engineering 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, H.D. Woodson Academy of Engineering 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.
