     TRIBUTE TO TEACHING FELLOWS FROM STANLY COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. ROBIN HAYES

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 27, 1999

  Mr. HAYES. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to congratulate four Stanly 
County students who are among the 1999 recipients of the North Carolina 
Teaching Fellows scholarships. Each Fellow receives a $26,000 
scholarship loan from the state of North Carolina.
  The full loan is forgiven after the recipient has completed 4 years 
of teaching in North Carolina public schools.
  In addition, all Fellows take part in academic summer enrichment 
programs during their college careers.
  The Teaching Fellows Scholarship program was created by the North 
Carolina General Assembly in 1986 and has become one of the top teacher 
recruiting programs in the country.
  This innovative program attracts talented high school seniors to 
become public school teachers. This is a common sense, state based 
program that will help encourage our best and brightest to come back to 
their communities to teach.
  The 1999 recipients from Stanly County, North Carolina are Catherine 
Ellen Hinson and Mai Lee Xiong, both of Albemarle High School, Adam 
Allen Cycotte of South Stanly High School, and Anna Beth Spence of West 
Stanly High School.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate these individuals for the courage 
and desire to enter the teaching profession.
