                        Tuesday, April 28, 2026

  Mr. CISCOMANI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 100th 
Anniversary of Marana Unified School District. For the past century, 
Marana Unified has excelled in its one very important mission: 
educating our children.
  Marana Unified School District takes its responsibility seriously and 
over the past 100 years has forged a well-deserved reputation for 
academic excellence.
  Marana's top-quality schools are high on the list of reasons that 
families want to live in Marana.

  The district has grown to include twenty schools--Tangerine Farms K-8 
and Marana Vista Academy opened just last year. It now serves 13,000 
students from preschool through 12th grade and is home to 2,000 
dedicated employees.
  Ranked in the top 1 percent of Arizona districts for academic growth, 
Marana Unified provides an exceptional education to all its students, 
from kindergarten to high school.
  The district offers a wide array of outstanding academic programs, 
including an advanced Special Education program, a Gifted and Talented 
Education program, and 21st Century Community Learning Center 
opportunities to foster college and career readiness.
  In addition to academics, Marana Unified also excels in its athletic 
programs. Throughout the decades, the district has built a legacy of 
athletic excellence, from championship football and basketball teams to 
competitive volleyball, soccer, and tennis programs.
  I congratulate Marana Unified School District, Superintendent Dr. Dan 
Streeter, teachers and staff, and students and families on 100 years of 
academic excellence.
  Their commitment to learning and growth has made education in Marana 
what it is today. If it is true that education is the key to a better 
future--and I firmly believe it is--then Marana is where those keys are 
made.
  May they enjoy this accomplishment. Here is to the many years ahead 
and generations of Marana students to come who will be impacted by 
their work.
