                   TRIBUTE TO CAROLYN JAYNE ARRINGTON

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, I recognize Carolyn Jayne Arrington, 
the DeSoto County Teacher of the Year from DeSoto County High School in 
Arcadia, FL.
  Jayne has more than 20 years of experience developing lesson plans 
and classroom strategies to ensure students succeed. She commits her 
time and talents to helping students meet their personal educational 
goals.
  Jayne's passion for providing quality student education drives her 
ambitions as a teacher. Her pledge to her students for the school year 
is to ensure they leave her classroom confident in the subject material 
with a mastery that lasts with them throughout their academic career.
  Jayne has taught Algebra 1, Algebra 1A/1B, Pre-calculus, and Advanced 
Placement Calculus at DeSoto County High School since 2015. She also 
has served as her school's mathematics department head since 2017 and 
was named Mathematics District Lead Professional Development 
representative for the county in 2021. Jayne earned her master's degree 
in mathematics education and her bachelor's degree in mathematics with 
a minor in education from the University of Florida in 1993 and 1994, 
respectively.
  I extend my deepest gratitude and best wishes to Jayne for her 
commitment to her students. I look forward to hearing about her 
continued good work in the years to come.
