                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 20, 2020

  Mr. HUDSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and congratulate 
Maureen Stover for being named the 2020 Burroughs Wellcome Fund North 
Carolina Teacher of the Year. Mrs. Stover is a science teacher at 
Cumberland International Early College High School in Fayetteville, 
North Carolina.
  A former intelligence officer with the United States Air Force, Mrs. 
Stover began teaching in 2009 through the Troops to Teachers program. 
For over a decade, her tireless commitment has exemplified the 
important contributions educators make each day in service to our 
children and community.
  Known in the classroom as the Science Mom, Mrs. Stover's dedication 
to students extends far beyond brief lectures in biology or 
environmental science. Her leadership has provided countless students 
with not only the resources needed to develop academically, but 
socially and emotionally as well.
  The title of North Carolina Teacher of the Year is awarded by the 
Department of Public Instruction to dedicated and highly skilled 
educators who inspire students of all backgrounds and abilities to 
learn. I am proud that Mrs. Stover will travel the state as an 
ambassador for the teaching profession, serve as an advisor to the 
State Board of Education, and serve as a board member for the Public 
School Forum.
  As the son of a retired public school teacher, I extend my most 
sincere appreciation to Mrs. Stover for her extraordinary service to 
our nation, state, and community. She is more than deserving of this 
honor and I look forward to all she will accomplish on behalf of our 
children in the years to come.
  Madam Speaker, please join me today in honoring Maureen Stover for 
being named the 2020 Burroughs Wellcome Fund North Carolina Teacher of 
the Year.
