                       TRIBUTE TO STEVEN McGINLEY

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, I recognize Steven McGinley, the Lee 
County Teacher of the Year from Harns Marsh Middle School in Lehigh 
Acres, FL.
  Steven believes students deserve great teachers and considers it his 
duty to provide his students with the same quality of education he 
received in Lee County. He attended the county's Allen Park Elementary 
School, Fort Myers Middle School, and Fort Myers High School and 
credits his teachers for his successful career.
  Steven's ties to the county's schools drive his ambition to mentor 
and help raise quality educators. He holds that his school's success is 
only possible through its teachers, students, and the community's 
involvement. Steven also considers himself a lifelong learner and one 
where he learns from his students.
  Steven is a peer collaborative teacher at Harns Marsh Middle School, 
teaching in the school district of Lee County for 8 years. He spends 
half of the school day teaching civics and the other half coaching and 
mentoring other teachers at his school.
  I extend my deepest gratitude and best wishes to Steven for his 
commitment to his students. I look forward to hearing about his 
continued good work in the years to come.
