H.R. No. 114



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Prince of Peace Christian School in Carrollton has 
been designated a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence by the U.S. 
Department of Education, and this well-deserved accolade offers an 
apt opportunity to reflect on the school's contributions to the 
larger community; and
	WHEREAS, This prestigious designation is awarded to schools 
that have demonstrated excellence in a number of areas, including 
curriculum and instructional methods, academic achievement, and 
student and teacher attendance and retention; and
	WHEREAS, The selectivity of the Blue Ribbon award is evident 
from the fact that Prince of Peace is one of only 50 private schools 
in the nation and only three in Texas to be thus honored; and
	WHEREAS, Since its inception as a preschool in 1980, Prince 
of Peace Christian School has flourished and grown to encompass all 
grades from preschool through high school, with an able faculty of 
more than 60; and
	WHEREAS, Children are the Lone Star State's most precious 
natural resource, and in helping to ensure that its students 
receive a sound and useful education, the faculty, staff, and 
administrators of Prince of Peace have greatly benefited their 
fellow Texans; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby congratulate Prince of Peace Christian School in 
Carrollton on being named a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence by the 
U.S. Department of Education; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for the school as an expression of high regard by the Texas 
House of Representatives.

                                                                        Solomons

	I certify that H.R. No. 114 was adopted by the House on 
February 10, 2005, by a non-record vote.
