               HONORING BARD HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE PROGRAM

  (Mr. PAYNE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Bard High 
School Early College science faculty for their work to advance science, 
technology, engineering, and math programs for their students.
  Earlier this year, one of their teachers, Maria Agapito, was only 1 
of 35 science teachers in the country who was selected by the Society 
for Science and the Public to receive a $1,000 grant.
  Ms. Agapito and other science teachers will be using this grant to 
create a multiyear science program for student research. They will be 
able to use the funds to help buy equipment and materials, and for 
student projects.
  Science teachers at Bard and public schools across the country are 
doing great things to help their students prepare for an increasingly 
technological future.
  I am proud to represent such bright students and passionate 
educators.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank all of America's teachers in this country and 
wish them continued success.
