MIKE ROGERS of alabama in the house of representatives Monday, August 3, 2026 Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 50th anniversary of the 1976 graduating class of Talladega High School in Talladega, Alabama. Members from the 1976 class, including many of their former teachers and coaches, will gather for a reunion banquet on Saturday, August 15th in Talladega. Fifty years ago, 200 members of this class proudly walked across the stage, marking the culmination of years of dedication, learning and friendship. This 50th reunion is a moment to reflect on cherished memories, honor those who have passed away and celebrate the remarkable journeys of each class member. The members of this distinguished class have, over the past five decades, contributed greatly to their families, communities, professions and to the betterment of society; and the [[Page E770]] bonds formed within the halls of Talladega High School have endured the test of time, serving as a testament to the strength of shared experiences, mutual respect and lifelong friendship. Mr. Speaker, please join me in wishing the 1976 graduates of Talladega High School congratulations on this milestone and a wonderful celebration in August. ____________________
