WHEREAS, The members of the Judson Early College Academy |
|
|
Class of 2025 made history as they participated in the JECA 2025 |
|
|
College Signing Day Celebration on May 1, 2025; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The College Signing Day Celebration is an annual |
|
|
event that allows seniors the opportunity to sign a letter of intent |
|
|
to their "best fit" school and to make public the number of |
|
|
acceptances and scholarship awards that they received; all |
|
|
together, the 86 members of the Class of 2025 amassed a total of |
|
|
nearly 800 scholarship offers and more than 1,100 college and |
|
|
university acceptances; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In addition, the Class of 2025 is the first |
|
|
graduating class since the academy's founding in 2009 in which all |
|
|
86 seniors earned an associate's degree with distinguished honors |
|
|
from Northeast Lakeview College; the students celebrated their |
|
|
graduation from Northeast Lakeview College on May 15 at the Freeman |
|
|
Coliseum, and their JECA graduation is taking place on May 27 at New |
|
|
Creation Christian Fellowship; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Over the past four years, the JECA Class of 2025 |
|
|
scholars persevered through an academically rigorous curriculum |
|
|
despite various setbacks, such as administrative changes and the |
|
|
COVID-19 pandemic; the students distinguished themselves outside |
|
|
of the classroom as well, logging countless hours of community |
|
|
service, working part-time jobs, and participating in a wide |
|
|
variety of summer programs, internships, and extracurricular and |
|
|
intramural activities; along the way, the students have benefited |
|
|
from the able guidance and support of Class of 2025 sponsor and |
|
|
college/career readiness instructor Monique Broadnax, principal |
|
|
Angelica Guzman, superintendent Milton Fields, and the other |
|
|
members of the academy's dedicated faculty and staff; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Exciting challenges and opportunities await these |
|
|
outstanding young Texans, and they may reflect with pride on their |
|
|
achievements as they embark on a future bright with promise; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the members of the Judson Early |
|
|
College Academy Class of 2025 on their achievements and extend to |
|
|
them sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the class as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
