R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The retirement of teacher Roy L. Bernhardt, Jr., 
from Thrall High School in 2005 brought to a close an exemplary 
tenure in public education that spanned 38 years; and
	WHEREAS, A 1960 graduate of Thrall High, this esteemed Texan 
worked his way through college and, after earning his bachelor's 
degree from Southwest Texas State University in 1967, accepted a 
teaching position with Granger ISD, where he taught English for 
five years; and
	WHEREAS, In 1972, Mr. Bernhardt returned to his alma mater, 
and for the next 33 years he ably served the student body as an 
English teacher, senior class sponsor, and director of the senior 
class play; his record of educational excellence has earned him the 
lasting respect and admiration of his students and colleagues, as 
well as that of the Thrall Ex-Students Association, which 
recognized him with the inclusion of his name on a special plaque in 
acknowledgment of his "inspiring leadership" and "devoted 
service"; and
	WHEREAS, Roy Bernhardt has indeed had a positive impact on 
the countless students who have passed through the doors of his 
classroom through the years, and although he will be greatly missed 
at Thrall High School, his legacy as an outstanding educator lives 
on in the lives of the students he helped to guide during the course 
of his career; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commend Roy Bernhardt for 
his outstanding tenure in the field of education and congratulate 
him on his well-deserved retirement; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Mr. Bernhardt as an expression of high regard by the 
Texas House of Representatives.
