DEAN HELLER OF NEVADA IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE September 17, 2015 Mr. HELLER: Mr. President, today, I wish to congratulate a true role model in the Nevada community, Ms. Katherine Kelley. Ms. Kelley was crowned both Miss Summerlin and Miss Nevada and recently competed in the Miss America competition. I am truly honored to congratulate her on these great achievements. The Miss America pageant began in 1921 and is one of the worlds largest scholarship providers to young women. The initiative focuses on creating change in the lives of others and contributes a great amount of charity work in communities across the country. This characteristic of giving exemplifies Ms. Kelleys everyday life as a teacher in the Las Vegas community, working to help children excel academically. Ms. Kelley a Madisonville, Kentucky, native moved to Las Vegas in May of 2014 and began working with Teach for America in hopes of helping with the local teacher shortage. She is currently pursuing her masters degree at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in the College of Education, studying secondary math education. Along with pursuing her masters degree, she is also a geometry instructor at Mojave High School. Her initial passion for teaching began when she spent time volunteering in the Alabama Public School system. Her experience there drove her in her aspirations to create positive change. Through Miss America, Ms. Kelley has had the opportunity to bring light to the importance of school attendance in low-income communities, as well as encourage students of both genders in their science, technology, engineering, and math studies. The scholarships that Ms. Kelley has earned through Miss America will allow her to finish her masters degree debt free. I know the citizens of the Silver State are proud to see a fellow Nevadan succeed in pursuing her dreams. Today, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Katherine Kelley on this incredible honor. I wish her the best of luck as she serves as an ambassador for our Great State and thank her for her work in helping Nevadas students. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
