                 HONORING ANDREW ``STEVE'' HEALEY, III

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 8, 2022

  Mr. KIM of New Jersey. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Andrew 
``Steve'' Healey, III, a dedicated teacher and coach of 33 years for 
students throughout New Jersey.
  For more than 25 years, Steve served as a teacher, head track coach, 
and defensive coordinator for the Central Regional High School football 
team. Using his experience as a Division I athlete at Simpson College, 
he oversaw the school's teams becoming multiple Shore Conference and 
State champions. Because of his leadership and passion, Steve was 
inducted into the New Jersey State Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 
2003. At the conclusion of his tenure as head track coach, the team's 
final record was an impressive 188-51. It seems only fitting that 
tomorrow Central Regional High School will be naming the school's track 
in his honor.
  His passion for coaching and encouraging students was seen just as 
frequently on the field as it was in the classroom. For his incredible 
work he was awarded Central Regional Teacher of the Year, the NJ 
Governor's Award for Outstanding Teacher, and the Who's Who Among 
America's Teachers.
  Steve Healey is a shining example of what makes a coach and teacher 
successful: the ability to inspire athletes and students to reach their 
fullest potential by imparting knowledge and the tools necessary to 
succeed. I know I speak for New Jersey's 3rd District in congratulating 
Steve on this incredible tribute. The newly named track and the 
athletes who use it will now and forever know about Steve's incredible 
work ethic, competitive drive, and compassion. I congratulate coach on 
a distinguished career and thank him for imparting his values so we can 
strive to live by his example.
