R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, On September 8, 2003, the Del Valle Independent 
School District celebrated the dedication of John P. Ojeda Junior 
High School, and this event will further support the district's 
continued commitment to serving the citizens of Del Valle; and
	WHEREAS, Named for former school board trustee and longtime 
Del Valle resident John Ojeda, this state-of-the-art facility 
opened its doors to seventh-graders and eighth-graders on August 
18, 2003; the school features four classroom wings with eight 
classrooms each as well as a 4,800-square-foot library and media 
center; and
	WHEREAS, Students have access to 200 computers and will 
benefit from the school's acoustically designed band and choir 
halls, outstanding art department, top-notch home economics and 
vocational classrooms, and expansive athletic facilities; former 
Hillcrest Elementary School principal Jean MacInnis will offer 
dynamic leadership to the school's faculty, staff, and students, 
bringing years of experience to this vital role; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Ojeda is a product of the Del Valle school system 
himself, as are his 11 siblings and his two children, making his 
selection as the school's namesake unique and appropriate; he is 
the first Hispanic to be elected to the district's board of trustees 
and faithfully served on the board for three consecutive terms 
beginning in 1986; and
	WHEREAS, John P. Ojeda Junior High School is the district's 
second junior high school, and its opening will undoubtedly usher 
in a period of superlative educational opportunity and help to meet 
the needs of Del Valle's young people; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby commemorate the opening of 
John P. Ojeda Junior High School and offer best wishes to all those 
associated with this fine new school; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for the staff and students of John P. Ojeda Junior High 
School as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of 
Representatives.
