“Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize my high school U.S. history teacher, Kathleen Mirabile, who retired last week after serving the Manchester School District for 49 years, 42 of those at my alma mater of Central High School. Mrs. Mirabile is a Central High institution, and her passion for her subject matter and dedication to her profession made her an exemplary teacher. She was a longtime leader of the social studies department and the National Honor Society. She gave back to her community in many ways, including leading efforts locally to preserve and share the history of Manchester. Mrs. Mirabile knows that history is not simply a collection of dates, facts and figures; it is about people. We must understand it or be bound to repeat it. I think of her lessons on a regular basis, and so do thousands of New Hampshire students who have walked through her classroom doors. On behalf of the people of New Hampshire's First District, I thank Mrs. Mirabile for incredible service and wish her the best in her well- deserved retirement. ____________________”
