SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 160
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
recognize Fort Worth Country Day School on the occasion of its |
|
50th anniversary; and |
|
WHEREAS, Fort Worth Country Day School opened its doors on |
|
September 9, 1963, with the mission of providing students a |
|
challenging college-preparatory education that would also allow |
|
them to excel in athletics and the arts; under the leadership of |
|
headmaster Peter A. Schwartz, the school quickly outgrew its |
|
original three buildings and expanded to meet the growing demand |
|
of an increasing enrollment; and |
|
WHEREAS, Today, the school continues to foster the |
|
intellectual, physical, emotional, and ethical development of |
|
students, integrating a program that fuses the humanities, the |
|
sciences, the arts, athletics, and community service; and |
|
WHEREAS, Fort Worth Country Day School works with such |
|
noted institutions of higher education as Duke University and |
|
Stanford University to enhance academic success and offer |
|
college credit coursework; it is one of only six schools in the |
|
country to be named a Malone Foundation School; and |
|
WHEREAS, Fort Worth Country Day School has for 50 years |
|
helped young people become critical thinkers and leaders, and it |
|
is truly fitting that the school be recognized as it achieves |
|
this milestone in its history; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, |
|
83rd Legislature, hereby commend the students, faculty, and |
|
staff of Fort Worth Country Day School on their commitment to |
|
excellence in education and extend to them best wishes for a |
|
memorable 50th anniversary celebration; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
the school as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. |
