The session began with a personal privilege request to welcome the students and staff from the program, which has recently achieved national acclaim.

The Senate honored the Smyrna High School Educators Rising for their outstanding performance in winning their second national championship at the Educators Rising National Conference held in Rehoboth. This program, which is part of the school's Teacher Academy pathway, aims to inspire and develop future educators through hands-on experiences and mentorship.

During the meeting, a representative expressed pride in the students' accomplishments and emphasized the importance of nurturing local talent in the education sector. The initiative not only prepares students for careers in education but also encourages them to return to Delaware after college to contribute to the state's educational landscape.

The Senate formally presented a tribute to the Smyrna High School Educators Rising team and its staff, acknowledging their hard work and dedication. The recognition serves as a testament to the program's success and its role in fostering the next generation of educators in Delaware.
