  Mr. COMER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Justin Mitchell 
of Franklin-Simpson Middle School, located in Franklin, Kentucky. As an 
8th Grade Social Studies teacher, Justin received the American History 
Teacher of the Year Award from the Kentucky Society of the Daughters of 
the American Revolution.
  This prestigious honor is a testament to the professionalism Justin 
demands of himself every day and a recognition of the great influence 
he has had and will continue to have within Franklin-Simpson Middle 
School.
  Active at the state level, working to push education into the future, 
Justin serves as the Vice Chair of the Education Professional Standards 
Board and the Assessment and Accountability Council. He continues to 
organize enriching trips for students to Colonial Williamsburg, VA, and 
teach at Western Kentucky University's Center for Gifted Studies.
  He has committed his career to working with community leaders to 
improve opportunities for the next generation and ushering in a 
brighter future for the Commonwealth.
  His impact on Simpson County, and public education, cannot be 
overstated. I've seen the great work Justin Mitchell has done, and join 
with all of my constituents in the 1st Congressional District of 
Kentucky in congratulating him.
