  Ms. EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to 
congratulate the students, parents, and faculty of Central City Public 
Charter School, Brightwood Campus for their commitment to science, 
technology, engineering, and mathematics enrichment, and for 
participating in my annual Science and Technology Braintrust.
  The teachers at Central City Public Charter School, Brightwood Campus 
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, Central City Public Charter School, Brightwood Campus 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.
