R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The Science Academy of South Texas in Mercedes has 
been selected by Newsweek magazine as the eighth best school in the 
United States, and this prestigious honor is truly well deserved; 
and
	WHEREAS, Among the top 700 schools ranked by the magazine, 
the Science Academy is one of only a few with a predominantly 
minority population and is the only top 10 school with a majority of 
Hispanic students; and
	WHEREAS, The rating method used by Newsweek employed a 
formula dividing the number of college credit tests by the number of 
graduating seniors, and during the past year, 196 of the academy's 
young scholars signed up for 468 such examinations; and
	WHEREAS, All those associated with this exceptional 
institution are united in their commitment to ensuring the finest 
possible education for its students, and their efforts in this 
regard indeed merit special legislative recognition; now, 
therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate the faculty, 
administration, staff, and students of the Science Academy of South 
Texas on the school's top 10 national ranking by Newsweek magazine 
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 Science Academy of South Texas as an expression of 
high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
