    21ST CENTURY STEM FOR GIRLS AND UNDERREPRESENTED MINORITIES ACT

  (Mrs. BEATTY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BEATTY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of STEM education 
and the critical role science, technology, engineering, and mathematics 
play in our Nation's economic prosperity.
  As our economy shifts toward STEM-oriented careers, we must ensure 
students have the opportunity to learn and succeed in these fields. 
That is why I introduced the 21st Century STEM For Girls and 
Underrepresented Minorities Act, H.R. 2773. I ask my colleagues, Mr. 
Speaker, to support this bill.
  This legislation would help create programs and curriculum for girls 
and underrepresented minorities to pursue STEM careers. Just last week, 
I was reminded of the importance of STEM education while delivering the 
commencement address at Metro Early College High School, a STEM-focused 
high school in my Third Congressional District of Ohio.
  I salute the graduates of the Metro Early College High School who 
achieved a 100 percent acceptance rate to college, and I commend their 
parents as well as the dedicated teachers and staff, including 
Principal Anthony Alston.
  Mr. Speaker, I include in the Record the names of the 106 graduates 
of the Metro Early College High School graduating class.
