                 HONORING THE LIFE OF DR. MARGARET HILL

  (Mr. AGUILAR asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. AGUILAR. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the extraordinary 
life of Dr. Margaret Hill, who passed away peacefully last month at the 
age of 81. She was, for many who knew her, the heartbeat of San 
Bernardino.
  For 50 years, she devoted herself to ensuring all children have 
access to high-quality education. In 1971, she began as a high school 
teacher, and would go on to serve as principal, assistant 
superintendent for San Bernardino County, an adjunct professor and, 
finally, the last decade, when I have known her more as a school board 
member for San Bernardino City Unified.
  Through all her roles, Dr. Hill never wavered in her devotion to the 
children of our community. Her warmth, her wisdom, and her kind spirit 
will be missed, but her legacy lives on in the countless lives that she 
touched in the classroom and in the community.
  It was a privilege to know her, Madam Speaker. May she rest in peace.
