| WHEREAS, Members of the Houston community are gathering | ||
| together at Evan E. Worthing High School on January 25, 2019, for | ||
| the school's ribbon-cutting ceremony; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Founded by Evan E. Worthing to give local African | ||
| American youth access to quality education, this historic secondary | ||
| school first opened its doors on January 27, 1958; Worthing High | ||

| WHEREAS, The current campus has recently undergone | ||
| renovation as part of the Houston Independent School District's | ||

| construction, a two-story classroom wing with learning centers, | ||
| science labs, and a collegiate-style lecture hall opened to | ||
| students in August 2016, and the final phase of the project drew to | ||
| a close almost two and a half years later; the state-of-the-art | ||
| facilities also include career and technology education spaces, a | ||
| weight room, competition and auxiliary gyms, a Junior Reserve | ||
| Officers' Training Corps area, and a hospitality lab; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Part of the Houston Independent School District, | ||
| Worthing High School serves more than 800 students in grades 9 | ||
| through 12; under the expert guidance of current principal | ||
| Dr. Khalilah Campbell-Rhone, the dedicated faculty and staff work | ||
| tirelessly to equip the school's student body with the knowledge | ||
| and skills necessary to build a brighter future; and | ||
| WHEREAS, For more than six decades, Worthing High School has | ||
| helped its students live up to their full potential, and the newly | ||
| renovated campus will enhance the school's efforts in that crucial | ||
| endeavor; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby commemorate the ribbon-cutting ceremony at | ||
| Worthing High School and extend to all those associated with the | ||
| school sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it | ||
| further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for Evan E. Worthing High School as an expression of high | ||
| regard by the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
