A HOUSE RESOLUTION honoring Saint Matthew
Elementary School.
Whereas, Saint Matthew Elementary School in Mount
Vernon has been designated as a Four Star School for the
second consecutive year;
Whereas, Only 11 of Indiana's 238 nonpublic schools
received this distinction;
Whereas, To be considered a Four Star School, a school's combined English 10 and Algebra 1 End of Course Assessment, or English/Language Arts and Math ISTEP, passing percentages must fall into the top 25th percentile when compared with schools throughout Indiana and must meet or
exceed all expected performance indicators as detailed by the
state of Indiana through the process of Performance Based
Accreditation;
Whereas, The faculty, staff, students, and parents of Saint
Matthew Elementary School are to be commended for their
great work;
Whereas, Schools such as Saint Matthew Elementary
School make a strong statement about the quality of the
teachers and the high scholastic standards that exist in Hoosier
schools; and
Whereas, It is fitting that recognition of the achievements
of the members of our educational system should be extensive
to encourage them to always strive to develop Indiana's
educational system to its full potential: Therefore,
SECTION 1. That the Indiana House of Representatives acknowledges the value of a strong educational system in Indiana and commends the faculty, staff, students, and parents of Saint Matthew Elementary School for a "job well done".
SECTION 2. That the Principal Clerk of the House of Representatives transmit copies of this resolution to the principal of Saint Matthew Elementary School.
