                        TRIBUTE TO STEPHEN BROWN

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, I recognize Stephen Robert Brown, 
the Bradford County Teacher of the Year from Bradford High School in 
Starke, FL.
  Stephen never predicted he would work as one of the most celebrated 
teachers in the school district. He developed his teaching philosophy 
as one that teaches from bell to bell and advocates for all students, 
not just those in his classes. He instills in his students the 
confidence to achieve their long-term goals and develops plans to help 
meet those goals.
  Stephen's students grow academically and personally by the end of 
each school year. He welcomes his students to ask questions to better 
comprehend the assignments, and ultimately wants to see them thrive.
  Stephen is the team lead for the Exceptional Student Education 
Department at Bradford High School. He also is the school's ACT testing 
coordinator.
  I extend my deepest gratitude and best wishes to Stephen for his 
commitment to his students. I look forward to hearing about his 
continued good work in the years to come.
