                       Wednesday, April 30, 2025

  Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, today, the 12th Congressional District honors 
an exceptional leader within our community: Principal Markisha Stovall 
of Madison Carver Academy. Her unwavering dedication to her students, 
their families, and our community embodies the very essence of 
exemplary public service.
  Born and raised in Detroit, Principal Stovall's resilient life story 
includes overcoming the loss of her mother to addiction, her father's 
incarceration, and being raised by her grandmother with five siblings. 
Despite these hardships, she graduated from Michigan State University 
and, as a single mother, became an educator to uplift all children.
  Serving as the Principal of Madison Carver Academy, her leadership 
has yielded transformative results: a significant 33 percent surge in 
enrollment, an impressive 99 percent average attendance rate, the 
establishment of over 20 enriching student clubs, and the 
implementation of crucial wraparound services to support families 
facing crises.
  The 12th Congressional District honors her leadership and commitment 
to our students and community. I congratulate her on all her 
accomplishments.
