|
country, Frisco ISD serves more than 60,000 students in 42 |
|
|
elementary schools, 17 middle schools, 10 high schools, and 3 |

|
for academic excellence, innovative courses, and wealth of |
|
|
extracurricular opportunities and experiences; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Despite the explosive growth the district has |
|
|
experienced over the past three decades, Frisco ISD remains |
|
|
committed to its mission to know every student by name and need, |
|
|
providing small, personalized learning environments and a |
|
|
student-to-teacher ratio lower than the national average; more than |
|
|
7,000 faculty and staff members work tirelessly each day to prepare |
|
|
the district's students for the challenges and opportunities that |
|
|
lie ahead; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Today the Frisco ISD four-year graduation rate is an |
|
|
impressive 98.6 percent, and the district has won a host of |
|
|
accolades, including the Texas Honors Circle Award, the College |
|
|
Board AP District Honor Roll, and the Platinum Leadership Circle |
|
|
Award from the Texas Comptroller's Office; furthermore, the |
|
|
district has contributed significantly to the exceptional quality |
|
|
of life in Frisco, which was named the Best Place to Live in America |
|
|
by Money magazine in 2018; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Committed to effectively serving the needs of |
|
|
students, the outstanding teachers, administrators, and staff of |
|
|
Frisco ISD are helping area youth succeed academically and reach |
|
|
their full potential, and it is truly fitting to recognize the |
|
|
immense impact these public servants are making on their community |
|
|
and the State of Texas; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize March 5, 2019, as Frisco Independent |
|
|
School District Day at the State Capitol and extend to the visiting |
