Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mitchell Wright, a social studies teacher at Watauga High School in North Carolina's Fifth District. Recently, I nominated Mitchell for the United States Capitol Historical Society Civic Education Workshop, a competitive program that selects only 16 educators from across the Nation to participate. Last week, he was selected as part of this cohort and will travel to the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library and Museum in Fremont, Ohio, in the latter part of February. There, these 16 educators will develop new lesson plans and a variety of instructional materials relating to the electoral college that they will be able to share with their students. Madam Speaker, I congratulate Mitchell on his selection to this program, and I thank the U.S. Capitol Historical Society for their continued work in creating novel instructional workshops such as this. ____________________
