|
||
| WHEREAS, The Hays Consolidated Independent School District | ||
| celebrated the 50th anniversary of its founding on May 6, 2017; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The district was established in 1967 after county | ||
| voters approved a measure to consolidate the Buda, Kyle, and | ||
| Wimberley Independent School Districts; as the region's population | ||
| has increased, Hays CISD has experienced dramatic growth, expanding | ||
| from about 1,150 students across a handful of schools to nearly | ||
| 20,000 students at 23 campuses, including 2 four-year high schools, | ||
| 6 middle schools, 13 elementary schools, an alternative high | ||
| school, and a disciplinary center; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Through the decades, Hays CISD has remained | ||
| steadfast in its mission to prepare students for the challenges and | ||
| opportunities of the future, and today it boasts a graduation rate | ||
| higher than the state average; the district offers an elementary | ||
| magnet school STEM program and specialized career curricula, and | ||
| both of its comprehensive high schools have earned Project Lead the | ||
| Way designations for their efforts in encouraging students to | ||
| pursue computer science, engineering, and biomedical science | ||
| studies; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Hays CISD students have also excelled in a wide | ||
| range of extracurricular activities, garnering recognition in | ||
| band, choir, visual and performing arts, and athletics; in | ||
| addition, the district's Performing Arts Center features a | ||
| state-of-the-art sound and video system, two conference rooms, and | ||
| seating for nearly 1,000 people, and it hosts numerous productions | ||
| and campus and community events year-round; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Over the past half century, Hays CISD has provided | ||
| generations of young Texans with a strong academic foundation on | ||
| which to build, and it is indeed a privilege to join in marking this | ||
| important milestone in its history; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Hays | ||
| Consolidated Independent School District and extend to its | ||
| administrators, faculty, staff, and students sincere best wishes | ||
| for continued success; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for the district as an expression of high regard by the | ||
| Texas House of Representatives. | ||
