community of Dallas is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2016; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, An educational apostolate of the Christian |
|
|
Community of God's Delight, MSMCS began as the Prince of Peace |
|
|
Community School in 1986; classes were initially held for preschool |
|
|
through fourth-grade students, and one grade level was added during |
|
|
each of the next four years until the current eighth-grade level was |
|
|
reached; the name was changed to Mount St. Michael Catholic School |
|
|
in 2007; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, MSMCS employs a classical curriculum known as the |
|
|
trivium, a three-phased approach that emphasizes grammar, logic, |
|
|
and rhetoric and includes the mandatory study of Latin starting in |
|
|
the first grade; in addition, students have the opportunity to |
|
|
participate in artistic pursuits such as band, art, and dance while |
|
|
also taking part in traditional religious studies; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The institution is also home to the only accredited |
|
|
Catholic Montessori school in the Dallas-Fort Worth area; |
|
|
established in 1978, the program currently serves children ages |
|
|
three to five; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Because of the thorough work of MSMCS educators, |
|
|
many of the school's alumni are making their mark on society, |
|
|
including those who are pursuing advanced academic degrees in our |
|
|
nation's colleges or participating in holy orders; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Over the last three decades, the faculty and staff |
|
|
of Mount St. Michael Catholic School have committed themselves to |
|
|
meeting the educational needs of their students, and the school has |
|
|
played a vital role in helping many young Texans build a bright and |
|
|
prosperous future; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |

|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
