SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 383

WHEREAS, Fourth-grade students of St. Mark's School of Texas in Dallas are visiting the State Capitol on April 10, 2025, providing a fitting opportunity to recognize the school's rich history; and

WHEREAS, The campus traces its roots to 1906, when founder Menter B. Terrill and his wife, Ada, established The Terrill School for Boys; in 1946, the campus reopened as Cathedral School for Boys, and four years later, it merged with Texas Country Day School to form St. Mark's, a nonsectarian, college-preparatory, independent day school for boys in grades 1 through 12; and

WHEREAS, St. Mark's strives to provide students with well-rounded physical, intellectual, moral, and religious training and instruction; today, the school serves more than 900 students, and it offers challenging programs in the sciences, arts, and humanities, as well as a variety of opportunities for involvement and leadership on campus; and

WHEREAS, Over the past 119 years, St. Mark's has provided countless young Texans a strong academic foundation on which to build, and the school is indeed deserving of special recognition; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th Legislature, hereby honor the fourth-grade students of St. Mark's School of Texas on the occasion of their visit to the State Capitol and extend to them sincere best wishes for the future.
