                         Thursday, July 1, 2021

  Mr. McCLINTOCK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the passing 
of one of our great local educators, Jamie Mathias, a Social Sciences 
teacher within Del Oro High School for 22 years. Jamie's singular goal 
for students was to encourage each one to better themselves; be that in 
the classroom or through athletics. Jamie always pushed students to 
reach their next level and become the person he knew they could be.
  Jamie was a father figure, a coach, and a mentor to many students 
during his time as an educator. His academic impact on our community 
will be felt for a very long time. The young minds he molded and 
inspired that are now spread across our county are the living legacy of 
what a great teacher will leave behind.
  Most importantly, Jamie was a family man, devoted to his family and 
raising his children to be exceptional members of our community. They 
carry with them the many life lessons that Jamie imparted over the 
years. My deepest condolences and prayers go out to the Mathias family, 
especially to his wife and children. I thank Jamie, for his 
extraordinary impact in our schools, and the countless students he 
encouraged.
