  Mr. COMER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ashley Bailey, 
Lori Fulkerson, Jessica Sheffer, Dana Alves, and Amy Legate--
instructors at Henderson County High School who are receiving the 
National Excellence in Action Award from the Department of Education 
and Advance CTE. These awards are given to competitive schools with 
impressive career and technical education programs that provide 
students hands-on experiences and exposure to local industry in the 
career fields they are interested in pursuing.
  Established over 35 years ago, Henderson County High School's 
outstanding Health Science program has grown tremendously and is now 
one of the largest CTE programs in Kentucky. Students choose from focus 
areas including allied health, pre-nursing, or medical administrative 
assisting to gain knowledge and training specific to their future 
careers.
  All seniors enrolled in the program select a local health care 
facility partner to participate in work-based learning Upon completion 
of the program, students can earn up to 12 college credits and five 
industry-recognized credentials. Henderson County High School partners 
closely with the local Henderson Community College to prepare students 
for postsecondary education by teaching relevant topics and skill sets.
  I am thankful for Ashley Bailey, Lori Fulkerson, Jessica Sheffer, 
Dana Alves, and Amy Legate's leadership and devotion to educating young 
minds in Kentucky's 1st District.

Their efforts are setting students up for success in the high-demand 
healthcare industry. I look forward to the many future accomplishments 
from these educators and their students.
