  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Denise Hoag of Council Bluffs, Iowa for receiving the 2018 
IOWA STEM Teacher Award. Denise is a computer science and business 
teacher at Thomas Jefferson High School in Council Bluffs.
  IOWA STEM promotes science, technology, engineering, and mathematic 
programs, with a mission to grow the future workforce. As a STEM 
teacher, Denise demonstrates innovative methods, has a passion for 
education, helps students see the world around them, and engages 
students academically inside and outside the classroom. Todd Barnett, 
Principal at Thomas Jefferson High School said, ``Denise isn't just a 
STEM resource, she is a leader in the School District and State of 
Iowa.''
  Mr. Speaker, I applaud and congratulate Denise for receiving the IOWA 
STEM Award. She is a shining example of how hard work and dedication 
can have a lasting impact on the future of students and their education 
goals. I am proud to represent her in the United States Congress and I 
ask that my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives 
join me in congratulating Denise and in wishing her nothing but 
continued success in all her endeavors.
