         CONGRATULATING MARTIN COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 2025

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate the 
historic 2025 graduating class of Martin County High School.
  The proud Gators made history with their first graduation since the 
unification of South Creek High School and Riverside High School. The 
Gators had their first outdoor graduation ever in the swamp.
  There were hugs, smiles, dancing, chest bumps, and even tears.
  A touching moment was when Jaden Wiggins' parents accepted his 
diploma. Only weeks before he was due to graduate, he was tragically 
killed in a vehicle accident. Yet, his memory remains with his 
classmates.
  The graduation exercise not only ended with the turning of the 
tassels but also an amazing fireworks demonstration. The spirit of 
unity was incredible.
  I congratulate the parents, teachers, education support 
professionals, administrators, school board, community, and, above all, 
the students.
  I congratulate the class of 2025.
