HONORING SAN DOMENICO SCHOOL'S 175TH ANNIVERSARY

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 94 (Wednesday, June 3, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 94 (Wednesday, June 3, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E516] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING SAN DOMENICO SCHOOL'S 175TH ANNIVERSARY ______ HON. JARED HUFFMAN of california in the house of representatives 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. ____________________
