                        TRIBUTE TO JUSTIN PIGOTT

<bullet> Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, today I am pleased to honor Justin 
Pigott, the Martin County Teacher of the Year from Jensen Beach High 
School in Jensen Beach, FL.
  Justin works to ensure his classroom is a positive environment for 
his students. He wants each student to feel they are accepted, heard, 
and supported while in school. Justin memorizes the names of each 
student prior to their first day of class to ensure they know they 
matter to him.
  Justin is an Advanced Placement calculus teacher at Jensen Beach High 
School and has taught for 16 years, the last in the Martin County 
School District. He also works as a student mentor at Indian River 
State College's Take Stock in Children scholarship program, assists 
students with SAT and ACT test preparation, and served as a sponsor for 
his school's math honor society.
  I would like to thank Justin for the good work he has done for his 
students over the years. I wish all the best to him, and look forward 
to learning of his continued success in coming years.<bullet>
