                     Wednesday, September 27, 2023

  Ms. PETTERSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Alexander 
Adkisson, a manufacturing and construction teacher at Green Mountain 
High School in Lakewood, Colorado.
  Mr. Adkisson is an incredible educator who was recently recognized 
for teaching excellence due to his experience, insights, creative 
approach to teaching, and commitment to student success. He draws from 
his own struggle in academics to workshop innovative ways to ensure 
that none of his students fall behind. Mr. Adkisson co-developed the 
Algebra 1, Manufacturing, Processes, Entrepreneurship, and Design 
(AMPED) program which helps students run a business that creates 
products for sale while applying the mathematical principles taught in 
his class. He fosters a sense of entrepreneurial spirit in his students 
while also ensuring their grasp of mathematical concepts.
  Mr. Adkisson is helping pave the way for the next generation of 
Coloradans looking to make a difference in STEM fields. On behalf of 
the people of Colorado's Seventh Congressional District, I thank Mr. 
Adkisson for his dedicated service to his students and to our education 
system.
