  Mr. WEBSTER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize my friend, 
Mrs. Carol Grosshans, for her remarkable 45 years of service in 
education, including her exceptional devotion and leadership over the 
past decade at Foundation Academy in Winter Garden, Florida.
  Carol's commitment to education is reflected in her extensive 
academic achievements, She earned a Bachelor of Science in Elementary 
Education with a specialty in Learning Disorders from Dickinson State 
in 1997. She completed coursework in Educational from Capella 
University in 2003, obtained a Master's degree in K-12 Studies in 
Education from Capella University in 2015, and most recently received a 
Certificate in Biblical Counseling from Southwestern Baptist 
Theological Seminary in 2022.
  Carol began her distinguished career in 1980 as a Behavior Disorders 
Teacher for grades K-8 at Lucy Wortham James Elementary School in St. 
James, Missouri. Over the years, she has served in numerous roles, 
including teacher, principal, Director of Mom's Morning Out, and 
literacy instructor for K-12 students. She also served as Vice 
President of Education for Junior Achievement from October 2014 to 
January 2016.
  In January 2016, Carol joined Foundation academy as Vice President of 
Education and most recently served as Interim President. Her leadership 
has had a lasting impact on students, faculty, and the community.
  Carol and her husband, Tim Grosshans, are active members of First 
Baptist Church of Winter Garden, where Tim faithfully served as pastor 
for nearly 17 years before his recent retirement. Together, they now 
look forward to enjoying this new season of life.
  I join her family, friends, and the Foundation Academy community in 
celebrating her well-deserved retirement and in thanking her for a 
lifetime of faithful service to students and education.
