                        HONORING VIRGIN ISLANDS TEACHERS

      (Ms. PLASKETT asked and was given permission to address the House for
    1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
      Ms. PLASKETT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate three teachers
    from the Virgin Islands, Ms. Cherise Davis, Mr. Cornell Hanley, and Mr.
    Andre Douglas, for their outstanding contributions and exceptional
    dedication to their students and our community.
      Ms. Davis, an elementary teacher at Juanita Gardine Elementary
    School, is a committed community leader and an 11-year veteran of
    teaching.
      Mr. Hanley, a special education teacher at Yvonne E. Milliner Bowsky
    Elementary School, has dedicated more than 20 years to teaching and is
    known for his leadership and devotion to his students.
      Mr. Andre Douglas, a mathematics teacher at Ivanna Eudora Kean High
    School, was awarded the Presidential Award for Excellence in
    Mathematics and Science Teaching, one of the highest honors in the
    field.
      Each of them has elevated the standard of education in our territory
    and secured a brighter future for generations of Virgin Islanders to
    come.
      I thank them for their service.
