                       Tuesday, February 1, 2022

  Mr. GAETZ. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize Mr. Lance Climer as the 
Walton County Teacher of the Year. For five years, Mr. Climer has 
served the Walton County School District with exceptional passion and 
an unwavering commitment to serving others.
  In Northwest Florida, we are fortunate to have some of the best 
teachers in the Nation. It is recognized that the teaching profession 
is one of the most difficult yet rewarding professions in existence. 
Mr. Climer has performed his teaching duties exceptionally, while also 
striving to be an active and supportive member of his community.
  His support and outreach extend far beyond the walls of his social 
studies class through his involvement as Men's Golf Coach, Key Club 
Advisor, School Improvement Team member and Department Chair. As the 
advisor to a community service club, Mr. Climer has displayed 
dedication to preparing the whole child for a life of success by 
showcasing to students that the best aspects in life are often not what 
you receive, but instead what you can give back. I commend him for his 
steadfast willingness to serve those that matter most, the students and 
youth of our Nation.
  For all of his admirable contributions, I am truly proud to have Mr. 
Climer as a constituent in Florida's First Congressional District.
  Madam Speaker, on behalf of the United States Congress, I am 
privileged to recognize Mr. Lance Climer for his accomplishments and 
his commitment to excellence, professionalism, innovation, and 
collaboration in the Walton County School District. I thank him for his 
service and wish him all the best for continued success.
