JOHN GARAMENDI of california in the house of representatives Monday, March 30, 2026 Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and celebrate the opening of the new Hillview Junior High School Replacement Campus in Pittsburg, California--a transformative investment for the Pittsburg community and a major milestone for the Pittsburg Unified School District. On January 7, 2026, students walked through the doors of this state- of-the-art campus for the first time, marking the culmination of a large-scale construction effort that began in November 2023. This project reflects years of planning, collaboration, and steadfast community support. The development of the new Hillview campus included several significant milestones. Built adjacent to the former school site, the new campus features modern classrooms, improved facilities, expanded parking areas, and sustainability-focused upgrades such as solar energy systems. These enhancements ensure that Pittsburg students have access to a safe and innovative learning environment. Hillview Junior High School has been a cornerstone of Pittsburg since its founding in 1958, serving generations of families and shaping the lives of countless young people. The opening of the replacement campus honors that legacy while ushering in a new era of educational opportunity. This achievement was made possible through the enduring support of the Pittsburg community, which shares in the belief of the power of strong public schools and the vital role they play in supporting youth, families, and our Nation's long-term success. On behalf of the constituents of California's 8th Congressional District, I am proud to honor the opening of the new Hillview Junior High School Replacement Campus and to recognize the educators, community leaders, students, and residents whose dedication made this milestone possible. This campus stands as a testament to Pittsburg's enduring commitment to its children and its future. ____________________
