I rise today to recognize Carter Pearce, a senior at DuBois Area High School, for winning an international vocabulary competition. Vocabulary Bowl is sponsored by Vocabulary.com and invites more than 900,000 high school students to compete in a virtual competition, which lasts over a month. Carter, who placed first, mastered over 8,000 words. After winning in the fall, he competed in the spring competition and mastered all the featured words. Carter is also a member of the DuBois Area High School Vocabulary Quiz Bowl team and has helped the team win multiple regional competitions. Since joining 2 years ago, Carter has helped the team win four State titles. Carter graduates later this spring and plans to major in history. His goal is to become a history teacher. Mr. Speaker, this is a fantastic achievement, and I thank Carter for representing Pennsylvania so well. I wish Carter all the best in his future endeavors.
