  Mr. CLOUD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and celebrate the 
125th anniversary of Ganado Independent School District, a proud pillar 
of education and community in South Texas.
  Established on June 8, 1900, Ganado ISD has upheld a long-standing 
commitment to excellence. For over 125 years, the district has shaped 
generations of students, guided by a passionate community that puts 
kids first.
  Ganado ISD has achieved remarkable success both inside and outside 
the classroom. The district has earned eight team state championship 
titles in athletics, along with numerous individual state championships 
across athletics and other extracurricular activities. Its award-
winning band, known as ``The Pride of the Tribe,'' has been recognized 
as a state marching medalist. Additionally, Ganado ISD consistently 
produces high achievers at the state and regional levels in UIL 
academic contests, art, cheerleading, One Act Play, and FFA.
  Under the leadership of Superintendent Dr. Jonathon Szymanski, the 
district continues to build upon its strong foundation while preparing 
students for the future.
  As the community gathers to celebrate this historic milestone, we 
congratulate Ganado Independent School District on 125 years of 
excellence and wish them continued success in the years ahead.
