                       Wednesday, March 14, 2007

  Mr. SCHIFF. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay special recognition to 
Mayfield Junior School and Mayfield Senior School as they celebrate 
their 75th Anniversary of Holy Child education in Pasadena, California.
  In 1931, the Mayfield School was founded by the Sisters of the Holy 
Child Jesus. Under the philosophy and tradition of Cornelia Connelly, 
the Mayfield Schools are committed to educating the whole child, by 
providing a learning environment balancing academic excellence with the 
arts, athletics, community service, and spiritual growth.
  The Mayfield Schools embrace seven goals developed by the Society of 
Holy Child Jesus founder Cornelia Connelly. These goals seek to provide 
an intellectually challenging and creative program of study that 
fosters academic excellence and to create a learning environment based 
on trust and reverence for the dignity and uniqueness of each person.
  The Mayfield Schools have long been committed to community 
involvement and voluntary service. Upholding their motto of Actions not 
Words, both students and alumni have dedicated themselves to community 
enrichment and demonstrated the principals of compassion, integrity and 
leadership--characteristic of a Mayfield education.
  Under the guidance of devoted teachers and faculty, the students of 
the Mayfield Schools have achieved great success. Over the past 75 
years, more than 2,000 young men and women have graduated from Mayfield 
Junior School and more that 2,800 women from Mayfield Senior School.
  I ask all Members to join me today in honoring the Mayfield Junior 
School and Mayfield Senior School upon the celebration of their 75th 
Anniversary. The entire community joins me in thanking the Mayfield 
Schools for their outstanding educational opportunities for the youth 
of California's 29th District.
