School in the Gruver Independent School District have both been | ||
named National Blue Ribbon Schools; and | ||
WHEREAS, The National Blue Ribbon Schools Program was created | ||
by the U.S. Department of Education in 1982 to recognize campuses | ||

elementary or secondary school in the United States can receive, | ||
the Blue Ribbon designation is awarded each year to only a select | ||
number of campuses nationwide; and | ||

School, led by principals Amber Holland and Lexy Glass, | ||
respectively, were designated as Blue Ribbon Schools in 2022; | ||
Gruver Elementary serves students in prekindergarten through the | ||
fourth grade, while Gruver Junior High serves students in fifth | ||
through eighth grade; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through hard work and perseverance, the teachers and | ||
students of these exemplary campuses have established a record of | ||
scholastic excellence, and their outstanding efforts have been duly | ||
recognized with the Blue Ribbon School award; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate Gruver Elementary School and | ||
Gruver Junior High School on their selection as 2022 National Blue | ||
Ribbon Schools by the U.S. Department of Education and extend to all | ||
those involved with the schools sincere best wishes for the future; | ||
and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That official copies of this resolution be prepared | ||
for the schools as an expression of high regard by the Texas House | ||
of Representatives. | ||
