                        TRIBUTE TO NEDA JACKSON

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, I recognize Neda Jackson, the Monroe 
County Teacher of the Year from Key West High School in Key West, FL.
  Math was the first subject Neda wanted to teach as she excelled in 
the subject as a student. She uses her understanding of mathematical 
concepts to teach her students various ways to learn and develop real-
life situational applications. Neda puts her most significant emphasis 
on students who are at risk of not graduating. Often, she will devote 
her time and talents to focus on these students, working personally 
with them to help them succeed. Her peers credit Neda's high 
expectations of herself for receiving this award and her students' 
achievements.
  For the past 21 years, Neda has taught at Key West High School, where 
she is the lead math teacher. Her classes range from algebra II honors 
to liberal arts math. She has served as a math coach, as a club 
sponsor, social media contact, and activities codirector.
  I extend my deepest gratitude and best wishes to Neda for her 
commitment to her students. I look forward to hearing about her 
continued good work in the years to come.
