  Mr. KEVIN HERN of Oklahoma. Madam Speaker, it is with great pride 
that I rise today in honor of an outstanding educator. Oklahoma's 2018 
Teacher of the Year, Ms. Donna Gradel, a finalist for the National 
Teacher of the Year.
  Ms. Gradel has dedicated nearly 30 years of her life to education. 
The success of her students at Broken Arrow High School reflects the 
passion and dedication that Ms. Gradel brings to teaching.
  Oklahoma is home to many wonderful educators. Ms. Gradel is a 
standard-bearer of educational excellence in my state and my district, 
and she continues to impress us and her peers across the country.
  Ms. Gradel is well-deserving of her position as a finalist for 
Teacher of the Year. She represents Oklahoma and our country well and 
has the support of our entire delegation.
  Congratulations to Ms. Gradel on this profound honor.
