                    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.
