WHEREAS, Sidney Lanier High School in the San Antonio
Independent School District is celebrating its 100th anniversary in
2023; and
WHEREAS, The campus traces its origins to 1915, when it was
established as McKinley Elementary; named for American poet,
author, and musician Sidney Lanier, it became Lanier Junior School
in 1923, when the junior school system was first implemented; in
1929, the school expanded to include both junior high and high
school grade levels, and it remained a six-year campus until its
junior high students transferred to a new school in 1969; Sidney
Lanier High School's current campus opened in 1975; and
WHEREAS, Today, the school provides students in grades 9
through 12 with a rigorous curriculum and a broad range of
extracurricular activities; the campus benefits from the able
leadership of its principal, Dr. Ricky Flores; and
WHEREAS, For the past century, Sidney Lanier High School has
provided its students with a strong educational foundation on which
to build, and it has made a positive and lasting difference in the
lives of generations of San Antonio residents; now, therefore, be
it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 88th Texas Legislature, 3rd
Called Session, hereby commemorate the 100th anniversary of Sidney
Lanier High School and extend to the school's faculty, staff, and
students sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Sidney Lanier High School as an expression of high
regard by the Texas Senate.
