“I rise to recognize Mr. Scottie Cook, a career and technical education teacher in the Alexander County School System. In September, Mr. Cook was recognized as a winner of the Harbor Freight Tools for Schools Prize for teaching excellence. Mr. Cook was 1 of only 25 winners throughout the entire Nation and the only teacher in North Carolina to receive the award in 2025, a remarkable accomplishment, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Cook's passion and service with a career in technical education have left an indelible mark on the lives of his students. There is no question about it. Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Mr. Cook on this well-deserved recognition.”
