in the house of representatives
Ms. GARCIA of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Charles H. Milby High School as it celebrates a full century since opening its doors in March 1926.
In Houston's East End, Milby High School is more than a school. It is a landmark. And reaching 100 years is not just a milestone, it is a rare achievement that speaks to the strength of this institution and the neighborhoods that fuel it. Milby began with just 13 teachers and a little over 200 students, replacing Harrisburg High School just a few blocks away. One hundred years later, it stands as one of the most recognized and respected schools in Houston, serving students. Generations have walked those same halls, and many come back to serve the same school that shaped them. That pride runs deep.
Milby has built a reputation for opening doors. With strong academics, STEM and career programs, and partnerships tied to Houston's industries, it has prepared students for
college and the workforce. It has helped thousands of students reach graduation and realize their futures.
right here in Houston. Today, that legacy continues under Principal Ruth Pena, a proud Milby graduate leading the next generation. And through all the change around it, Milby has remained in the same place, with the same name, serving the same community for 100 years. That kind of consistency is rare, and it is something to be proud of.
So today, we are not just marking time. We are celebrating a century of education, of opportunity, and of hope for a better future, Here is to 100 years of Milby and to many more.
