H.R. No. 1047 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Clifton Park Elementary School students, faculty, | ||
and staff are gathering on May 21, 2021, to bid farewell to the | ||
school's current campus at 2200 Trimmier Road in Killeen; and | ||
WHEREAS, Originally set to open in the fall of 1964, the | ||
campus was still under construction when the school year started, | ||
and its students initially attended other schools in the area while | ||
waiting for the building to be completed; the campus finally opened | ||
its doors in late October of that year, though the school was still | ||
unnamed and informally referred to as Southside Elementary; and | ||
WHEREAS, In order to meet the growing needs of the community, | ||
Clifton Park Elementary has undergone a number of additions and | ||
renovations over the years, and a bilingual program was launched in | ||
2001; led by principal Jennifer Carranza, the school's hardworking | ||
staff currently serves more than 500 students in prekindergarten | ||
through fifth grade; and | ||
WHEREAS, After 57 years at the Trimmier Road campus, Clifton | ||
Park Elementary is moving to a new 124,000-square-foot facility on | ||
Jasper Road as part of its merger with Bellaire Elementary; | ||
continuing under the Clifton Park name, the consolidated school is | ||
scheduled to open in the fall of 2021; and | ||
WHEREAS, Clifton Park Elementary has helped generations of | ||
Killeen residents to reach their full potential and to become | ||
engaged and productive members of society, and the school is indeed | ||
deserving of recognition at this important turning point in its | ||
history; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby honor Clifton Park Elementary School on the | ||
occasion of its farewell ceremony at the Trimmier Road campus and | ||
extend to all those 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 Clifton Park Elementary as an expression of high | ||
regard by the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
