WHEREAS, David Joseph Spellman has been named valedictorian |
|
|
of the Class of 2009 at William H. Taft High School in San Antonio, |
|
|
and for achieving this significant honor, he indeed merits special |
|
|
recognition; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Earning the title of valedictorian requires not only |
|
|
intellect and aptitude, but four years of dedication to the highest |
|
|
academic standards; the student who garners this coveted |
|
|
distinction must demonstrate a thorough understanding of a wide |
|
|
range of subjects, from math and science to language arts and social |
|
|
studies, yet the rewards of the countless hours of study and |
|
|
preparation are myriad; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In addition to the pride inherent in being |
|
|
recognized as the highest achieving student in his class, the |
|
|
valedictorian is frequently the recipient of scholarships and |
|
|
grants; he also gains the opportunity to address his fellow seniors |
|
|
at commencement and to reflect on their shared history as well as |
|
|
their hopes and ambitions for the future; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Throughout his academic career, David Spellman has |
|
|
earned the respect and admiration of his teachers and classmates at |
|
|
Taft High School, and his exceptional scholastic ability, hard |
|
|
work, and commitment to excellence have surely opened the way to |
|
|
limitless opportunities for this remarkable young Texan; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate David Joseph Spellman on being |
|
|
named the 2009 valedictorian of William H. Taft High School and |
|
|
extend to him sincere best wishes for continued success in all his |
|
|
endeavors; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Mr. Spellman as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
