          RECOGNIZING THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF CHANDLER SCHOOL

 Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. President, I rise today to celebrate the 
Chandler School's 75th anniversary in Pasadena, CA.
  Chandler School was founded in 1950 by Thomas and Catherine Chandler 
with a small but visionary class of 15 students. This class established 
the foundation for educational excellence that has endured for three-
quarters of a century. Since its relocation to the historic Amanda 
Drive campus in 1957, Chandler School has served as a pillar of the 
Pasadena and Foothills community, nurturing generations of students in 
an inclusive environment that is caring, challenging, and ever 
committed to delivering high quality education.
  Chandler School has always remained steadfast in its mission to 
provide academically challenging education in a supportive, balanced, 
and diverse environment. Chandler School has empowered its students to 
continue on to be lifelong students, to continue to learn, think 
independently, work collaboratively, challenge one another, and 
contribute to their community.
  As an institution, Chandler School's core values of respect, 
trustworthiness, responsibility, fairness, and empowerment are 
instilled in its students. By doing so, students and facility are 
dedicated to diversity, equity, and inclusion, preparing students to 
become successful problem solvers, critical thinkers, and 
transformative leaders in an increasingly diverse and interconnected 
world.
  The alumni of Chandler School are continuing to contribute 
meaningfully to the southern California region and beyond as thoughtful 
leaders and engaged members of their communities. Alumni, staff, and 
current students are expected to embody the school's belief that ``as 
much is given to us, much is expected from us.'' And I have been 
fortunate to have staff and interns in my office from Chandler. I 
commend the Chandler School for their 75 years of dedicated service to 
their students, families, and community.
  I ask all Members to join me in celebrating the 75th anniversary of 
the Chandler School on April 18, 2026.
