  Mr. WALKINSHAW. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Ms. Keesha 
Jackson-Muir on her upcoming retirement after 29 years of dedicated 
service as a Fairfax County Public Schools Educator. Principal Keesha 
Jackson-Muir has dedicated nearly three decades of her career to 
Fairfax County Public Schools, serving students, families, and 
educators with distinction and unwavering commitment to educational 
excellence.
  Ms. Jackson-Muir began her career with Fairfax County Public Schools 
29 years ago and became Principal of Braddock Elementary School in 
2014. Over the course of her tenure, she guided the school through 
periods of growth and change while maintaining a steadfast focus on 
student achievement, creating a strong foundation for academic success 
and lifelong learning.
  Under her leadership, Braddock Elementary implemented numerous 
initiatives designed to enhance educational opportunities and 
strengthen support for students and their families. Her ability to 
identify community needs and develop meaningful solutions helped ensure 
that the school remained responsive, innovative, and focused on the 
success of every child.
  Throughout her career, Ms. Jackson-Muir distinguished herself as a 
collaborative leader who fostered strong partnerships among teachers, 
staff, parents, and community stakeholders. By cultivating a culture of 
trust, engagement, and shared purpose, she brought people together 
around a common goal of helping students thrive both inside and outside 
the classroom.
  In recognition of her exceptional service and leadership, Ms. 
Jackson-Muir was named Fairfax County Public Schools Principal of the 
Year in 2018. This honor reflected the respect she earned from 
colleagues across the district and her reputation as an educator whose 
dedication and professionalism consistently elevated those around her.
  Beyond her accomplishments as an administrator, Ms. Jackson-Muir 
leaves a lasting legacy through the countless students whose lives she 
influenced and the educators she mentored throughout her career. Her 
compassion, integrity, and commitment to public service have made an 
enduring impact on the Braddock Elementary community and Fairfax County 
as a whole.
  Mr. Speaker, Principal Keesha Jackson-Muir's retirement marks the 
culmination of an extraordinary career devoted to public education and 
service. I ask my colleagues to join me in thanking Principal Jackson-
Muir for her twenty-nine years of dedicated service to Fairfax County 
Public Schools and in wishing her a joyful, fulfilling, and well-earned 
retirement.
