                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 12, 2020

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Kerry Glenn, 
who after 30 years in the Adams 12 School District, is retiring. 
Kerry's dedication to STEM education in the Adams 12 School District 
and in the City of Northglenn has made a significant impact on students 
which will last for years to come.
  In 1984, Kerry graduated from Northglenn High School and received his 
bachelor's degree in Applied Mathematics and Aerospace Engineering from 
the University of Colorado, Boulder in 1989. In 1990, he started 
teaching math at his alma mater, Northglenn High School. He continued 
to advance his own learning, and in 2003, he earned a MA in Curriculum 
and Instruction from the University of Colorado, Denver. From 2003 to 
2012, Kerry was the instructional leader of the math department at 
Northglenn High School. In addition to teaching all levels of 
mathematics, Kerry also taught Project Lead the Way (PLTW) Engineering 
classes from 2010 to 2012. These positions reflect his talent for 
bringing people together and fostering and strengthening collaboration 
in education--all with a smile on his face.
  In addition to his teaching career, Kerry has provided countless 
hours and resources to his community by serving on local and state 
boards and commissions including District STEM Coordination, CTE DAG 
team, City of Northglenn Business Recognition, City of Northglenn 
Branding, Adams County Business Pitch Committee, Adams County Education 
Consortium, Adams County Manufacturers Youth Pipeline, Colorado P TECH, 
as well as Board President of Anythink Libraries. He also cofounded 
STEMinspired. In 2012 as STEM Coordinator, Kerry used the K-8 Adams 12 
STEM Model to design and implement the curriculum in grades 9 through 
12. In 2016, Kerry became the District P TECH/STEM Coordinator.
  Through both the STEM and the P TECH programs in Adams 12, Kerry has 
created hundreds of industry partners that work side by side with 
students, helping to improve outcomes for students and the surrounding 
community. I congratulate Kerry on a lifetime of service and wish him 
all the best in retirement.
