WHEREAS, For 80 years, Resurrection Catholic School has |
|
|
provided high-quality education to students in Houston's Denver |
|
|
Harbor area and beyond; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The school was originally staffed by four sisters of |
|
|
St. Mary of Namur, who came from Fort Worth to organize the |
|
|
undertaking; its first building, a six-room facility, was blessed |
|
|
and dedicated by Bishop C. E. Byrne on September 12, 1937, and |
|
|
classes began the following day; as the local population grew, so |
|
|
did the school's enrollment, and as a result, a new building was |
|
|
constructed in 1962; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Today, RCS offers a faith-based learning |
|
|
environment for prekindergarten through eighth-grade students, and |
|
|
it employs a curriculum that includes religion, language arts, |
|
|
mathematics, science, and social studies, as well as art, computer |
|
|
technology, physical education, and use of the library; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Over the past eight decades, Resurrection Catholic |
|
|
School has equipped a number of young Texans with a strong |
|
|
educational foundation, and it is indeed fitting that the school be |
|
|
recognized at this point in its rich history; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commemorate the 80th anniversary of |
|
|
Resurrection Catholic School and extend to all those associated |
|
|
with the institution sincere best wishes for continued success; |
|
|
and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the school as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
