Mr. CONNOLLY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the nominees
for the 2018-2019 Prince William County Public Schools Teacher of the
Year Award. Teachers who meet the criteria for the award are those who
instill in students a desire to learn and achieve, understand the
individual needs of students, demonstrate a thorough knowledge of
subject matter, and have the ability to share it effectively. The
selected winner will be named the Prince William County Teacher of the
Year.
As the second largest school division in the Commonwealth of
Virginia, Prince William County Public Schools educates 90,000 students

graduation rate.

teaching by serving as an effective leader in and out of the classroom,
fostering strong rapport with parents and peers and providing a safe
