 1-2                         SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 1189
 1-3           WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is proud to
 1-4     congratulate the academic team of Klein High School for winning
 1-5     the championship in the University Interscholastic League Academic
 1-6     Competition for the fourth consecutive year; and
 1-7           WHEREAS, At the state meet, the school's team scored 135
 1-8     points, a new record for a 5A school; this win is remarkable
 1-9     because no team except Klein High School has ever won the
1-10     competition more than two times in a row; and
1-11           WHEREAS, The total number of schools in the 5A category is
1-12     250, making a group of at least 466,000 students from which to
1-13     select possible University Interscholastic League competitors;
1-14     the team from Klein was composed of 15 students out of 3,700 in
1-15     the school; and
1-16           WHEREAS, Students who participate in the meets spend many
1-17     long hours studying their subjects and the teachers who worked
1-18     with them are to be commended; and
1-19           WHEREAS, The Klein High School academic team worked especially
1-20     hard to excel in this year's competition because they wanted to
1-21     repeat last year's win; much of the credit goes to the sponsors
1-22     and coaches who worked so hard with the team; and
1-23           WHEREAS, The team's sponsors included teachers Laura Anglin,
 2-1     Jerome Frnka, Beth Gilleland, Roberta Grenfell, Teri Hall,
 2-2     Evelyn Kelley, Elaine Kisseberth, Carolyn Shadowens, and
 2-3     Patsy Phelps, assistant principal and University Interscholastic
 2-4     League coordinator; and
 2-5           WHEREAS, It is indeed an honor for the State of Texas to
 2-6     have its bright young citizens achieve this remarkable distinction;
 2-7     the Texas Senate celebrates the success of the Klein High School
 2-8     students; their exceptional intelligence will ensure them a
 2-9     successful future; now, therefore, be it
2-10           RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
2-11     77th Legislature, hereby commend the team of Jessica Bolding,
2-12     Ryan Hennessay, Rabia Yousaf, Edwina Lai, Amaan Mazhar,
2-13     Kelley Rivoire, Brad Dodson, Carma Lords, Sara McClung, Tina Vo,
2-14     Alan Taylor, Tony Zhang, Justin Leong, Tony Strathman, and

2-18     team as an expression of highest regard from the Texas Senate.
