                         TRIBUTE TO EVAN GOULD

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, today I honor Evan Gould, the Clay 
County Teacher of the Year from Lake Asbury Junior High School in Green 
Cove Springs, FL.
  Evan felt honored and humbled to represent Clay County as he 
considers himself just one of the many high-quality educators teaching 
in the region. He relishes opportunities for his students to 
participate at district and State competitions as he takes great pride 
in their superior and award-winning performances. His music and drama 
programs are highly regarded in Florida and generate great interest 
throughout the county.
  Evan has been a teacher for 30 years, with 22 years in Clay County. 
Outside of the classroom, Evan dedicates his time and talents to giving 
back to his community. He cofounded the Clay All-County Elementary 
Chorus, as well as The 5 & Dime Theatre Company. Evan also serves as 
the chair of District 1 Junior Thespians, which hosts an annual 
festival that brings in more than 500 drama students from across the 
region.
  I extend my sincere thanks and gratitude to Evan for his many years 
working as a teacher and helping countless students fulfill their drama 
and musical ambitions. I look forward to learning of his continued 
success in the coming years.
