  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Ms. Jodet-Marie Harris 
for her exceptional work as a Clark County high school teacher.
  Jodet, a teacher at Mojave High School in Las Vegas, Nevada, holds 
certification as a Highly Qualified Teacher (HQT) in accordance with 
the No Child Left Behind Act. She has obtained both a Master's degree 
in Special Education and a Doctorate in General Education studies. She 
is also a National Board Certified Teacher.
  According to Mojave High School Principal, Charity Varnado, Jodet has 
a passion to take a child under her wings and work with them 
individually to focus on the needs of that child and what it is that 
will help them learn.'' Jodet has realized that, when working with 
special education students, patience and compassion helps each student 
to understand the material being covered.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I honor Ms. Jodet-Marie 
Harris. Her dedication and enthusiasm has greatly enriched the lives of 
her students. I commend her devotion to constantly looking for 
innovative ways to increase the learning opportunities of her students 
and I wish her luck in all of her future undertakings.
