              BUCHANAN HIGH SCHOOL CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION

                                  _____
                                 

                            HON. FRED UPTON

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 7, 2022

  Mr. UPTON. Madam Speaker, Buchanan High School has produced more than 
10,000 hardworking, bright individuals over the last hundred years who 
have gone on to better our community for generations to come.
  One hundred years ago Buchanan High School opened its doors for the 
very first time here. Twenty-five classrooms, an auditorium, a 
gymnasium and two offices were quickly filled with learning, listening 
and friendship. Over time this building has grown to accommodate 
increased enrollment and the ever-changing field of education.
  I would like to personally thank each and every educator, 
administrator and staff member who made virtual learning possible for 
our students during the pandemic and laid the groundwork for us to 
return to in-person learning. It truly is good to be back to some 
normalcy, but we must not forget the difficulties we faced not too long 
ago. The dedicated folks here at Buchanan High School made sure that 
every student had access to the internet and a dedicated laptop to 
learn, making sure that no student was left behind. Under the 
leadership of many principals, first Floyd Early when Buchanan High 
School opened its doors and a century later under Stacey DeMaio, 
Buchanan High School has continued to ``Develop responsible, resilient, 
creative citizens capable of succeeding in a global society.''
  I am eager to see the accomplishments Buchanan High School will 
achieve over these next one hundred years and the progress made both 
here in this building and by alumni across the world.
  And lastly, Go Bucks.
