During this year's National Appreciation of Teachers Week, I rise to recognize Ashlie Crosson of Reedsville, Pennsylvania, who was named the 2025 National Teacher of the Year. Ashlie is an English teacher at Mifflin County High School, where she instructs students in advanced placement language and composition classes. She also advises the journalism program, which publishes the school newspaper and district magazine. Ashlie approaches teaching with the goal of helping each of her students develop their communication and problem-solving skills, expand their worldview, and use their voices for the betterment of society as a whole. Ashlie's tireless dedication to her students is helping to prepare the next generation of creators, leaders, and innovators. Ashlie is truly a source of pride for the entire Mifflin County School District and for her community. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of everyone in Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional District, I congratulate Ashlie on her selection for this prestigious award and express gratitude for her enduring commitment to the academic achievements of her students and for her school district at large. ____________________
