                         Monday, March 30, 2026

  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and celebrate 
the opening of the new Hillview Junior High School Replacement Campus 
in Pittsburg, California--a transformative investment for the Pittsburg 
community and a major milestone for the Pittsburg Unified School 
District.
  On January 7, 2026, students walked through the doors of this state-
of-the-art campus for the first time, marking the culmination of a 
large-scale construction effort that began in November 2023. This 
project reflects years of planning, collaboration, and steadfast 
community support.
  The development of the new Hillview campus included several 
significant milestones. Built adjacent to the former school site, the 
new campus features modern classrooms, improved facilities, expanded 
parking areas, and sustainability-focused upgrades such as solar energy 
systems. These enhancements ensure that Pittsburg students have access 
to a safe and innovative learning environment.
  Hillview Junior High School has been a cornerstone of Pittsburg since 
its founding in 1958, serving generations of families and shaping the 
lives of countless young people. The opening of the replacement campus 
honors that legacy while ushering in a new era of educational 
opportunity.
  This achievement was made possible through the enduring support of 
the Pittsburg community, which shares in the belief of the power of 
strong public schools and the vital role they play in supporting youth, 
families, and our Nation's long-term success.
  On behalf of the constituents of California's 8th Congressional 
District, I am proud to honor the opening of the new Hillview Junior 
High School Replacement Campus and to recognize the educators, 
community leaders, students, and residents whose dedication made this 
milestone possible. This campus stands as a testament to Pittsburg's 
enduring commitment to its children and its future.
