WHEREAS, Trinity Valley School in Fort Worth hosted its first |
|
|
all-school reunion on March 31, 2017, to coincide with the 50th |
|
|
anniversary of its first graduating class; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Originally called the Texas Boys' Choir School, the |
|
|
school was founded by George Bragg and Stephen Seleny in 1959 as a |
|
|
place for members of the choir to rehearse as well as to receive an |
|
|
education; it was renamed Trinity Valley School in 1962, and in |
|
|
1967, 13 young men graduated as part of its inaugural class; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Over the years, the school's enrollment continued to |
|
|
increase, and in 1971, girls were admitted for the first time; |
|
|
today, almost 1,000 students from kindergarten through 12th grade |
|
|
attend the independent college-preparatory institution, which |
|
|
moved to its current 74-acre campus on Dutch Branch Road in |
|
|
southwest Fort Worth after outgrowing three previous facilities; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, For more than half a century, Trinity Valley School |
|
|
in Fort Worth has been dedicated to helping young Texans reach their |
|
|
full potential and become engaged and productive members of their |
|
|
community, and it is indeed fitting to recognize this fine |
|
|
institution as it marks this significant milestone; now, therefore, |
|
|
be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commemorate the 50th anniversary of the first |
|
|
graduating class of Trinity Valley School and extend to everyone |
|
|
associated with the school sincere best wishes for the future; 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. |
