RECOGNIZING MITCHELL WRIGHT
(Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Ms. FOXX. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mitchell Wright, a
social studies teacher at Watauga High School in North Carolina's Fifth
District.
Recently, I nominated Mitchell for the United States Capitol
Historical Society Civic Education Workshop, a competitive program that
selects only 16 educators from across the Nation to participate.
Last week, he was selected as part of this cohort and will travel to
the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library and Museum in Fremont,
Ohio, in the latter part of February.
There, these 16 educators will develop new lesson plans and a variety
of instructional materials relating to the electoral college that they
will be able to share with their students.
Madam Speaker, I congratulate Mitchell on his selection to this
program, and I thank the U.S. Capitol Historical Society for their
continued work in creating novel instructional workshops such as this.
