H.Res. 267 is a commemorative resolution recognizing the 10th anniversary of Educators Rising, a national organization that recruits and prepares middle and high school students for careers in teaching. The organization, which rebranded in 2015 from the Future Educators Association, operates in all 50 states and the District of Columbia with over 1,400 chapters, and has engaged nearly 145,600 students since its rebranding. The resolution highlights how Educators Rising addresses the critical teacher shortage through "Grow Your Own" initiatives that build local teaching talent pipelines and create more diverse teacher workforces that reflect student demographics. The House commends the organization's partnerships with higher education institutions and state departments of education, celebrates the PDK International scholarship program that awards nearly 100 scholarships annually to aspiring teachers, and encourages continued investment in such programs. This resolution does not authorize any funding—it is a symbolic statement of congressional recognition and support for the organization's mission.
