“Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Celeste Cline, who recently retired after 52 years of teaching. Ms. Celeste taught at my alma mater, St. Helena-Incarnation Catholic School in the Olney neighborhood of Philadelphia. She has impacted thousands of families and mentored dozens of new teachers throughout her many years in the classroom. In recent years, she began teaching children of some of her former students. Over the course of five decades, she has taught every grade, from kindergarten through eighth grade. As the husband of an elementary school teacher myself, I know that is no small feat. Ms. Cline is an exceptional teacher and a shining example of the importance of teachers to our Nation. Her legacy will live on at St. Helena-Incarnation Catholic School. I congratulate Ms. Cline and her wonderful family. I wish them all the best in this next chapter of their lives. ____________________”
