RECOGNIZING THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF CHANDLER SCHOOL

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 67 (Thursday, April 16, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 67 (Thursday, April 16, 2026)] [Senate] [Page S1819] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF CHANDLER SCHOOL Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. President, I rise today to celebrate the Chandler School's 75th anniversary in Pasadena, CA. Chandler School was founded in 1950 by Thomas and Catherine Chandler with a small but visionary class of 15 students. This class established the foundation for educational excellence that has endured for three- quarters of a century. Since its relocation to the historic Amanda Drive campus in 1957, Chandler School has served as a pillar of the Pasadena and Foothills community, nurturing generations of students in an inclusive environment that is caring, challenging, and ever committed to delivering high quality education. Chandler School has always remained steadfast in its mission to provide academically challenging education in a supportive, balanced, and diverse environment. Chandler School has empowered its students to continue on to be lifelong students, to continue to learn, think independently, work collaboratively, challenge one another, and contribute to their community. As an institution, Chandler School's core values of respect, trustworthiness, responsibility, fairness, and empowerment are instilled in its students. By doing so, students and facility are dedicated to diversity, equity, and inclusion, preparing students to become successful problem solvers, critical thinkers, and transformative leaders in an increasingly diverse and interconnected world. The alumni of Chandler School are continuing to contribute meaningfully to the southern California region and beyond as thoughtful leaders and engaged members of their communities. Alumni, staff, and current students are expected to embody the school's belief that ``as much is given to us, much is expected from us.'' And I have been fortunate to have staff and interns in my office from Chandler. I commend the Chandler School for their 75 years of dedicated service to their students, families, and community. I ask all Members to join me in celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Chandler School on April 18, 2026. ____________________
