                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 5, 2014

  Mr. SWALWELL of California. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize 
the life and legacy of Guy Emanuele Jr., an exceptional educator and 
school administrator from Fremont, California. Guy passed away on 
January 5, 2014, at the age of 83.
  Guy's long and distinguished career in education began in 1956 when 
he began teaching at Barnard Junior High School in Union City, 
California. In 1976, after 20 years of service as a teacher, school 
counselor, and administrator, he was hired as the superintendent of New 
Haven Unified School District--a position which he held until his 
retirement in 1998.
  During his tenure as superintendent, Guy was known for bringing 
leadership and stability to the school district. He also oversaw the 
expansion of the district, including the building of several new 
schools and an alternative school.
  Guy's commitment to students can be seen in his quote from a 2006 
interview, during which Guy stated his goal was ``to educate the whole 
man, not just in science and language, but in music and athletics. That 
is part of developing a positive character, a good character.''
  His commitment to the arts and athletics, as well as many other 
extra-curricular activities that promote students' academic 
involvement, is illustrated by James Logan High School's

marching band and forensic team earning national recognition and its 
sports programs winning numerous Mission Valley Athletic League titles.
  After retiring in 1998, Guy was elected to two terms on the Fremont 
School Board. Because of his outstanding legacy of service, Union City 
named Guy Emanuele Jr. Elementary School in his honor.
  The communities of Union City and Fremont have lost an outstanding 
educator, but Guy leaves his school district and community better 
prepared to provide an excellent education to all students.
  I want to express my deepest condolences to Guy's wife, Kay Emanuele, 
daughters Rosalyn Reasor and Lisa Lockyer, sons Guy Emanuele III and 
Pete Emanuel, as well as his eight grandchildren. Guy will be dearly 
missed.
