R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The naming of the Harry S. Brown Middle School in the

	WHEREAS, A graduate of Texas Christian University and The 
University of Texas at El Paso, Mr. Brown joined EPISD in 1952 as a 
teacher and coach at El Paso High; through the years, he 
distinguished himself as assistant principal of Bassett Middle 
School and assistant principal and then principal of Andress High 
School; in 1981, he was appointed associate superintendent of the 
Northeast Area of EPISD, and he served in that position for nearly a 
decade; since his retirement in 1990, Mr. Brown has continued to 
volunteer and tutor with EPISD at Beall Elementary; and
	WHEREAS, In addition to working in education, Mr. Brown has 
made invaluable contributions to the vitality of his community and 
state through a host of other worthy endeavors; a member of the 
Texas National Guard for 14 years and a certified master peace 
officer, he served as a reserve deputy for the El Paso County 
Sheriff's Department for more than four decades, including 30 years 
as commander of the reserve force; he has also lent his time and 
talents as director of the Southwest International Livestock Show 
and Rodeo, El Paso Crime Stoppers, and the El Paso County Historical 
Commission; named the Texas Administrator of the Year by Texas 
School Librarians, he has chaired a scholarship committee and been 
inducted into the El Paso Athletic Hall of Fame; and
	WHEREAS, With construction of the new school, which is 
scheduled to open in February 2007 to some 1,200 students, the El 
Paso ISD has ensured a lasting tribute to this esteemed educator, 
who has had such a profound impact on so many residents of El Paso 
over the past half-century; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby congratulate Hut Brown on 
the naming of the Harry S. Brown Middle School in his honor and 
commend him on his years of dedicated service to the El Paso 
Independent School District; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Mr. Brown as an expression of high regard by the Texas 
House of Representatives.
