 1-1           WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives takes great pride
 1-2     in recognizing the achievements of the sophomore class at Aubrey
 1-3     High School, many of whom are present in the chamber today, for
 1-4     their TAAS test scores indicate a mastery of educational material
 1-5     that indeed merits special legislative recognition; and
 1-6           WHEREAS, In February 1999, the Aubrey 10th graders  completed
 1-7     the exit-level Texas Assessment of Academic Skills (TAAS) exam;
 1-8     throughout months of preparation, the students drilled and took
 1-9     practice tests with their instructors to hone and strengthen their
1-10     individual performance; and
1-11           WHEREAS, The diligence of students and teachers alike has
1-12     been rewarded handsomely, for preliminary results indicate scores
1-13     of 98 percent in math, 98 percent in reading, and 97 percent in
1-14     writing; the tradition of academic excellence at Aubrey High School
1-15     is long-standing, one that has been carried forward to the
1-16     students' new high school campus that opened in March; and
1-17           WHEREAS, In addition to the flags of Texas and the United
1-18     States, the flag signifying the school's new "Exemplary" status
1-19     from the Texas Education Agency will now fly over Aubrey High
1-20     School as a testament to the outstanding results achieved by the
1-21     Class of 2001, and it is a great honor to salute these successful
1-22     young scholars at this time; now, therefore, be it
1-23           RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 76th Texas
1-24     Legislature hereby welcome the students and staff of Aubrey High
 2-1     School to the State Capitol, commend them for their exceptional
 2-2     success on the 1999 TAAS exam, and extend to all those associated
 2-3     with this remarkable school warmest best wishes for continued
 2-4     success; and, be it further
 2-5           RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
 2-6     prepared for the faculty, staff, and students of Aubrey High School
 2-7     as an expression of highest regard by the Texas House of
 2-8     Representatives.
