  HONORING THE CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY OF THE WILLIAM G. MATHER SCHOOL

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JACK BERGMAN

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 28, 2022

  Mr. BERGMAN. Madam Speaker, it is my honor to recognize the William 
G. Mather School for their 100th anniversary celebration on May 4, 
2022. Through their longtime devotion to their students and community, 
William G. Mather School has inspired countless students and become an 
indispensable part of the state of Michigan.
  Named after the industrialist and Upper Peninsula iron magnate, the 
William G. Mather School first opened in 1922. Originally a high school 
teaching grades 9 through 12, Mather was built as a state-of-the-art 
facility. Its gymnasium, known as The Pit, is famous throughout the 
Upper Peninsula for hosting many sporting and social events over the 
last century, and seats hundreds of local spectators and students. 
During this historic centennial celebration, we honor the generations 
of dedicated faculty of William G. Mather and their devotion to 
educating our local youth. Today, Mather Elementary School continues 
that legacy of excellence, giving students in the U.P. the best 
possible opportunity to learn and succeed.
  Madam Speaker, it's my honor to recognize the William G. Mather 
School for their tireless work educating our youth and their drive to 
bring positive change to their community. Michiganders can take great 
pride in knowing the First District is home to such dedicated citizens. 
On behalf of my constituents, I wish them all the best in their future 
endeavors.
