On November 25, 2024, Public Law No: 118-110 designated the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 1663 East Date Pl., San Bernardino, California, as the “Dr. Margaret B. Hill Building.”

Dr. Margaret Hill moved to San Bernardino from Virginia in the late 1960s. In 1971, she became a teacher at San Bernardino High School and later served in influential roles as a high school principle, an Assistant Superintendent of San Bernardino County, and an adjunct professor and the first Black member of the San Bernardino City Unified School District school board.

This dedication recognizes Dr. Hill’s decades of mentorship and advocacy in education.
