	WHEREAS, The opening of Franz Elementary School ushers in an 
exciting new era of educational opportunity for students in the 
Katy Independent School District; and
	WHEREAS, Located at 2751 Westgreen Boulevard, this 
impressive new facility has been named in honor of one of Katy's 
original founding figures, David P. Franz and his family, who 
settled in the area on property west of present day Mason Road in 
1896; two of his three sons, Cornelius and Peter, stayed on the land 
and made a road from their property going west to Katy and east 
toward Barker; today, the thoroughfare is still called Franz Road, 
and 14 descendants of the Franz family live on the original Franz 
tract; and
	WHEREAS, Residents of Katy may look forward to Franz 
Elementary School's diverse instructional education programs and 
enrichment activities, as their implementation will surely enhance 
the learning experience of every student; and
	WHEREAS, The staff is dedicated to the total education of its 
students, helping to develop tomorrow's leaders with pride and 
determination, and the school represents a significant addition to 
the state's public education system; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby commemorate the opening of 
Franz Elementary School and commend all those associated with the 
school for their commitment to academic excellence; and, be it

prepared for the school as an expression of high regard by the Texas 
House of Representatives.
