Congresswoman Virginia Foxx's 13th annual Teacher in Congress Internship Program occurred July 21-28, 2023. The internship program is held in the Congresswoman’s Washington, D.C. congressional office and consists of learning activities, including an introduction to the legislative process; tours of the U.S. Capitol, Library of Congress, and area museums; briefings with House committee staff; and attending hearings, mark-ups and floor debates. This program is an opportunity offered to public and private school educators in North Carolina’s 5th District who teach grades nine through twelve. One of this year’s attendees was Stephen Young, Social Studies Teacher at Surry Central High School.
Representative Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) issued the following statement on the conclusion of this year's program: “It was my pleasure to welcome Stephen Young and Samuel Tarleton – two exceptional educators in the 5th District – to Washington, D.C. for my 13th annual Teacher in Congress Internship Program. From attending committee hearings to watching floor debates, touring the U.S. Capitol to attending briefings, Stephen and Samuel had a first-hand look into Congress’ rich history and how it operates. It is my hope that this experience was as rewarding as it was insightful for them both.”
