                        Wednesday, June 3, 2026

  Mr. HUFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor San Domenico School 
in San Anselmo, California, as it celebrates its 175th Anniversary, 
marking an extraordinary milestone for one of California's oldest 
independent schools and one of the longest standing educational 
institutions in the West.
  Founded in 1850 by the Dominican Sisters, San Domenico began as a 
small girls' day school in Monterey before relocating to Benicia and 
ultimately establishing its permanent home in San Anselmo. Through 
every chapter of California's history, from statehood to the present 
day, San Domenico has demonstrated a commitment to academically 
rigorous education grounded in service, community, and character 
development.
  Today, San Domenico serves students from kindergarten through 12th 
grade, offering both day and boarding programs. The school is 
nationally recognized for its forward-looking academics, robust arts 
and athletics programs, award winning music and debate teams, 
environmental stewardship initiatives, and a longstanding dedication to 
fostering global citizenship. Generations of alumni have gone on to 
become leaders, innovators, and changemakers.
  Mr. Speaker, throughout its history, San Domenico has remained 
steadfast in its mission to prepare young people for lives of purpose 
and compassion. I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating San 
Domenico School on its remarkable 175 years of educational leadership, 
and in extending our best wishes for its continued success in nurturing 
generations of thoughtful, courageous, and community minded young 
people.
