                         HON. DAVID G. VALADAO

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, April 9, 2024

  Mr. VALADAO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate Mr. Rodney Brumit 
for his dedicated service to the Kings County community and to 
congratulate him on his well-earned retirement as principal of Lemoore 
High School. Mr. Brumit was born in Hanford to a family of educators. 
After graduating from Hanford High School where his father was a 
teacher, Mr. Brumit earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from 
Fresno State University. Mr. Brumit furthered his education at Fresno 
Pacific University, having completed both the Principals and 
Superintendents Academies. Mr. Brumit began his 25-year career in 
education as a history teacher at Coalinga High School. He later became 
the school's Dean of Students and assistant principal. In 2003, Mr. 
Brumit became Lemoore High School's assistant principal. After five 
years as assistant principal, Mr. Brumit was selected as principal, 
where he would lead a faculty of more than 200 employees and 2,000 
students annually. Throughout his tenure, Mr. Brumit was dedicated to 
the success and well-being of all students at Lemoore High School. He 
was actively involved in numerous aspects of the school's operation, 
having served as the Director of the School Attendance Review Boards, a 
member of the negotiations team, and as a Special Education 
administrator. In addition to his achievements as principal, Mr. Brumit 
was steadfast in his commitment to improving the lives of vulnerable 
students in the community. Mr. Brumit worked hard to implement gang 
resistance programs with the King's County Sheriff's Office, bring the 
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central California program to Lemoore, and 
create the social and emotional intervention model in coordination with 
the Kings County Office of Education. Mr. Brumit's dedication to the 
students at Lemoore High School is a true testament to his character. 
While he will be missed as principal, I am confident that Mr. Brumit's 
leadership will have a lasting impact on the Lemoore High School 
community for years to come. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues in the 
House of Representatives to join me in thanking Mr. Rodney Brumit for 
his service to Lemoore High School. I wish him a happy and well-
deserved retirement.
