                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 21, 2016

  Mr. KEATING. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Domenic Lalli, 
principal for the Xaverian Brothers High School, on the day of his 
retirement.
  Mr. Lalli began his illustrious forty year career at Xaverian 
Brothers High School as a Physical Education teacher after attending 
Boston University where he was captain of the football team. During his 
tenure, he also coached the track and football teams at the high 
school. His talents for working with students did not go unnoticed. In 
1984, he was appointed the Administrator of Students where he excelled 
at directing student life at the school. After spending 7 years in this 
role, Mr. Lalli became the Principal of Xaverian where he worked 
alongside the current Headmaster, Brother Daniel Skala. Together they 
have had a significant positive impact on the lives and education of 
the thousands of students that have passed through the halls of 
Xaverian Brothers High School.
  Mr. Lalli's influence on education and athletics is not limited to 
Xaverian. He is also a former member of the Board of Trustees at Malden 
Catholic High School in Malden, Massachusetts, Mount St. Joseph High 
School in Baltimore, Maryland, and St. Bernard School in Uncasville, 
Connecticut. Additionally, he has served as a member of the 
Sportsmanship Committee, the Tournament Management Committee, and 
District H Chair of the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic 
Association while also coaching football at Watertown High School. For 
his contributions to high school athletics, Mr. Lalli was inducted into 
the Watertown High School Athletics Hall of Fame.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Domenic Lalli for his lifetime of 
dedication to shaping young minds and promoting athleticism. I ask that 
my colleagues join me in congratulating him on his retirement and 
wishing him nothing but the best in his future endeavors.
