                    TRIBUTE TO PIERRE LeVELLE LEWIS

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, I recognize Pierre LeVelle Lewis, 
the Gadsden County Teacher of the Year from Gadsden County High School 
in Gadsden, FL.
  Pierre began his teaching career 5 years ago in Gadsden County 
schools. He is a social science teacher. During the 2021-2022 school 
year, Pierre's students earned a 96 percent passing rate on the U.S. 
history exam, one of the highest in the State. His students enjoy his 
teaching style, and he continually works to get the most out of them.
  Pierre sets out each day to develop lesson plans to make learning 
enjoyable for his students and to keep an open mind when going through 
his class. His peers have seen firsthand his devotion to committing 
countless hours to developing a curriculum that ensures the success of 
his students.
  I offer my deepest gratitude and best wishes to Pierre for his 
tireless commitment to his students. I look forward to hearing about 
his continued good work in the years to come.
