                        Wednesday, June 6, 2018

  Ms. BORDALLO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and commend 
Darlene Quichocho as the recipient of the first Jane Wha-Young Kim 
Award for Teaching Excellence sponsored by the Jane Wha-Young Kim 
Foundation. Darlene currently teaches English and Speech and Drama at 
George Washington High School in Guam.
  The Jane Wha-Young Kim Award for Teaching Excellence was established 
in 2017 to recognize one full-time middle or high school teacher on 
Guam who models excellence as a teaching professional. Darlene was 
chosen for her effective use of instructional practices and materials, 
her ability to inspire, enable, and assist students to achieve their 
full potential. She was also recognized for encouraging community 
engagement and service by students.
  Darlene was chosen unanimously by a selection committee, made up of 
Jane Wha-Young Kim's family and prominent members of the education 
community on island. Darlene was chosen from among nine outstanding 
nominees based on her exemplary teaching record at the George 
Washington High School, her strong support for various extracurricular 
activities, and her exceptionally positive impact on her students, 
colleagues, and community. The award was presented to Darlene on 
Monday, April 23, 2018 at George Washington High School.
  I join the people of Guam in congratulating Darlene, her family, and 
school community on this accomplishment. I look forward to her 
continued success and future contributions to our island.
