                     Wednesday, September 21, 2016

  Ms. EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to 
congratulate the students, parents, and faculty of Washington 
Mathematics Science Technology Public Charter High School for their 
commitment to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics 
enrichment, and for participating in my annual Science and Technology 
Braintrust.
  The teachers at Washington Mathematics Science Technology Public 
Charter High School are committed to ensuring that our country's youth 
is exposed to a STEM curriculum, which is paramount to the future of 
our country. A prevalent theme amongst successful STEM professionals is 
the curiosity and drive instilled by their teachers at a young age. We 
must continue to invest in schools that highlight a STEM education, so 
that all students will have an opportunity to one day be an 
astrophysicist, doctor, engineer, or a geologist.
  Mr. Speaker, Washington Mathematics Science Technology Public Charter 
High School is a true advocate of STEM education and deserves 
recognition for its work. With great pride I can say that because of 
this school's commitment to STEM education, our country's youth is 
gaining the skills needed to compete in a rapidly globalizing world.
