ERNEST AND DOROTHY GARCIA, EDUCATORS, PATRONS OF THE ARTS, AND COMMUNITY LEADERS ______ HON. GEORGE E. BROWN, JR. of california in the house of representatives Tuesday, December 20, 1994 Mr. BROWN of California. Mr. Speaker, the husband and wife team of Drs. Ernest and Dorothy Garcia will be receiving the prestigious Golden Baton Award from the Inland Empire Symphony Association at a special tribute to be held January 14, 1995. The two have given countless hours of dedicated work and devoted the past 40 years toward the growth and improvement of their community. Dr. Ernest Garcia began his career as an elementary school teacher in the Barstow School District. He eventually went on to continue his studies at the University of California, Riverside, and upon graduation Dr. Garcia returned to the Barstow school district as an assistant elementary principal. In 1961, after having worked as coordinator and curriculum consultant in the Rialto Unified School District, he became the principal of George Dunn School. During a leave of absence, he worked on his doctorate at UCLA and worked for Systems Development Corp., in the area of educational technology. After completing his doctorate in 1966, he became a professor at the University of Redlands and later Cal State, San Bernardino. During these years, Ernest was also elected to the Rialto School Board. In 1979, he became the dean of the School of Education, where he served for 11 years. Recently, I had the honor of attending a naming ceremony for the new Dr. Ernest Garcia Elementary School in the Rialto Unified School District. Mrs. Garcia has an equally illustrious career as her husband. Dr. Dorothy Garcia has worked as an educational consultant and faculty member at both the university and elementary level, where she also served as a principal in the Colton Joint Unified School District. Additionally, Dr. Dorothy Garcia has worked on program quality review teams for the State of California, as well as volunteering her time by serving on numerous community boards and chairing several volunteer programs. Dr. Dorothy Garcia has been recognized by the United Way and the Parent Teachers Association for her years of dedicated community service. Since their retirement in 1990, Drs. Ernest and Dorothy Garcia have enjoyed traveling, spending time with their grandchildren, and continuing their active involvement in the community. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me today in commemorating Drs. Ernest and Dorothy Garcia and the example they provide for all Americans. ____________________ |
