CELEBRATING THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF ALLISON LARSEN

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 58 (Friday, March 27, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 58 (Friday, March 27, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Pages E284-E285] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] CELEBRATING THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF ALLISON LARSEN ______ HON. RICK LARSEN of washington in the house of representatives Friday, March 27, 2026 Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy of Allison Larsen, a dedicated educator and principal of Edmonds-Woodway High School in Edmonds, Washington, whose impact on her school and community will be felt for generations. Sadly, Allison passed away on March 15, 2026 after a courageous battle with cancer. Allison devoted her career to serving students, families and staff with compassion, integrity and an unwavering commitment to the power of education. She joined Edmonds-Woodway High School in 2014 as an assistant principal, where she quickly earned the trust and admiration of those around her. In 2020, she became the school's principal, leading [[Page E285]] with a steady hand, a caring heart and a deep belief in the power of education to transform lives. Throughout her professional career, Allison was known for her genuine care for people and her ability to build meaningful relationships across her school community. She believed deeply in the work of educators and took great pride in supporting students and staff in achieving their fullest potential. Her leadership reflected both high expectations and heartfelt compassion, ensuring that every student felt seen, supported and valued. Even in the face of a terminal illness, Allison's dedication to her school never wavered. She remained committed to uplifting those around her, leaving behind a legacy defined by kindness, strength and purpose. Allison was also a beloved member of the Larsen family as the wife of my cousin Mike, and our family deeply mourns her passing. Allison added spice to family events with her wit and insights. We will all terribly miss her. Mr. Speaker, Allison Larsen's impact on Edmonds-Woodway High School and the broader Edmonds School District community is immeasurable. Her life stands as a testament to the profound difference one educator can make. I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring her remarkable service, celebrating her legacy and extending our deepest condolences to her husband, our family and all who were fortunate to know and work alongside her. ____________________
