                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, April 5, 2024

  Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate the Hot Springs 
World Class High School Education Accelerated by Service and Technology 
(EAST) team on winning the 2024 Founder's Award at the 2024 EAST 
Conference. This award is given to students who demonstrate a 
commitment to EAST's core values of authenticity, innovation, 
collaboration, dedication, and service. Mr. Speaker, it is evident that 
these students exemplify all of these and more. The team's 
accomplishment stems from an interactive map they created for the solar 
eclipse passing through the state of Arkansas on April 8, 2024. The map 
allows individuals to see all viewing options for this once-in-a-
lifetime event happening across the country. I am proud of the students 
for collaborating with the local community, working as a team, and 
accomplishing their goals.
  I'm proud to recognize the students on this team and their EAST 
facilitator, Ms. Breanna Burris, for all their hard work on this 
extraordinary project. They have not only achieved a prestigious 
national award, but they have simultaneously improved the lives of 
their peers in Hot Springs.
