  Mr. TAKANO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and congratulate 
John Corona who will be retiring after serving the Riverside Unified 
School District for 40 years.
  Mr. Corona's tenure in education has left a lasting impact on the 
Riverside community. He received numerous awards throughout the 
duration of his career, which demonstrate the admiration his colleagues 
and students have for him.
  One of Mr. Corona's proudest achievements was the creation of ``King 
High School Remembers.'' This annual project sparked continuous 
outreach to the veteran community and began an important dialogue 
between veterans and students. Since 2001, more than 300 veterans have 
been interviewed by high school students.
  Above all, Mr. Corona touched the lives of hundreds of students 
through his teaching, coaching, and mentorship. I send him best wishes 
on his well-deserved retirement and thank him for his service to our 
community.
