WHEREAS, The Westlake High School Advanced Placement Physics
program has been named the best program of its kind in the world by
the College Board; and
WHEREAS, Comparing schools with more than 1,000 students, the
College Board bases its findings on the ratio of students who scored
three or higher on a scale of five on the AP physics exam to the
population of the entire school; and
WHEREAS, In 2004, 93 percent of the school's AP physics
students received a score of three or higher, and 21 percent of
those Texas students who scored a perfect score of five were from
Westlake; led by teachers Mark Misage and Dan Harper, the program
includes 196 diligent students; and
WHEREAS, These hardworking teachers and students are truly an
inspiration to their school, their community, and the Eanes
Independent School District, and it is a pleasure to honor them for
their commitment and dedication to academic excellence; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the students and teachers of
Westlake High School's Advanced Placement Physics program and
extend to them sincere best wishes for continued success and
achievement; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the program as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
