  Mr. TAKANO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Michael R. 
McCormick, the remarkable superintendent of the Val Verde Unified 
School District, as he embarks on a well-deserved journey into 
retirement.
  With over 27 years of dedicated service to the field of education, 
Michael McCormick's career has been defined by an unwavering commitment 
to fostering educational excellence and nurturing innovation.
  Before assuming the role of superintendent, Mr. McCormick served as 
the assistant superintendent for education services at Val Verde. Under 
his stewardship, the district earned numerous awards and accolades 
owing to his thoughtful and diligent focus that put students first.
  From championing STEM education to striving to close the racial 
education gap for his students, Val Verde has thrived under his 
guidance. Superintendent Michael McCormick's dedication to education 
has left an enduring legacy of inspiration and empowerment.
  I congratulate Mr. McCormick on his retirement. We thank him for his 
tireless commitment to excellence in education.
