                        Thursday, June 18, 2020

  Mr. NORCROSS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and commend the 
Brigantine, New Jersey resident Chuck Newsom, Timber Creek High School 
Educator of the Year 2020.
  This year we honor Chuck Newsom, a dedicated educator at Timber Creek 
Regional High School, on his receipt of the 2020 Timber Creek Regional 
High School Educator of the Year award. In addition to his role as a 
special education teacher, he serves as football coach, basketball 
coach, head coach of the girls' volleyball team and is a role model for 
all his students.
  Prior to his career of being a special education teacher at Timber 
Creek Regional High School, Newsom pursued a degree in law and justice 
at Glassboro State College. He graduated in 1980 with career 
aspirations of going into law enforcement but changed course when he 
received a job offer as a Union Ironworker. After 10 years in the 
profession, Chuck decided to go back to school and earn a teaching 
certificate from Rowan University. He began his career as a special 
education teacher at Camden and Pennsauken High Schools, where he also 
served as Assistant Coach for a myriad of different sports teams. After 
teaching for 13 years for Camden and Pennsauken High Schools, he later 
moved to Timber Creek Regional High School where he continued to teach 
students for an additional 13 years.
  After more than a decade of inspiring, coaching, and shaping the 
lives of the students who attend Timber Creek Regional High School, 
Chuck is recognized as the Educator of the Year. He is beloved amongst 
his advisors, his pupils, and his teams. The connections he makes, 
along with his ability to inspire and engage, with all students allows 
him to excel in his position as a special education teacher.
  Madam Speaker, I ask you to join me in honoring Chuck Newsom, of 
Brigantine, New Jersey, a dedicated public-school educator who 
continues to inspire hundreds of students throughout all of South 
Jersey.
