WHEREAS, Emily Koetting has been named salutatorian of the |
|
Class of 2013 at Ascension Academy in Amarillo, and for achieving |
|
this significant honor, she indeed merits special recognition; and |

WHEREAS, Earning the title of salutatorian requires not only |

intellect and aptitude, but also 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 one of the highest achieving students in her class, |
|
the salutatorian is frequently the recipient of scholarships and |
|
grants; she also gains the opportunity to address her fellow |
|
seniors at commencement and to reflect on their shared history as |
|
well as on their hopes and ambitions for the future; and |
|
WHEREAS, The daughter of proud parents Mark and Michelle |
|
Koetting, Emily Koetting has earned the respect and admiration of |
|
her teachers and classmates at Ascension Academy, and her |
|
exceptional scholastic ability, hard work, and commitment to |
|
excellence have surely opened the way to limitless opportunities |
|
for this outstanding young Texan; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate Emily |
|
Koetting, salutatorian of the Ascension Academy Class of 2013, and |
|
extend sincere best wishes for continued success in all her |
|
endeavors; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
prepared for Emily Koetting as an expression of high regard by the |
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
