H.R. No. 2718 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Martha Gonzalez has made invaluable contributions | ||
to Wright Elementary School in San Antonio during her two and a half | ||
years as principal; and | ||
WHEREAS, Ms. Gonzalez was named to the position in January | ||
2015, and with the help of vice principal Victoria Treviño, she has | ||
worked to analyze student data and establish uniform grading | ||
standards; she also launched a number of initiatives designed to | ||
create a strong sense of community and to motivate both teachers and | ||
students to achieve a set of clearly defined goals; under her | ||
skilled guidance, the school's report card from the Texas Education | ||
Agency underwent a dramatic transformation; after receiving an | ||
"Improvement Required" rating and failing to meet standards on | ||
three of the agency's four performance indexes in 2014, Wright | ||
Elementary earned all six possible Distinction Designations in | ||
2016; and | ||
WHEREAS, A native of Laredo, Ms. Gonzalez has served the | ||
Harlandale Independent School District for more than 20 years, | ||
including tenures as a teacher and vice principal; she holds an | ||
undergraduate degree in education from The University of Texas at | ||
San Antonio and a master's degree in administration from Texas A&M | ||
University--Kingsville; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through her unwavering commitment to the students, | ||
faculty, and staff of Wright Elementary, Martha Gonzalez has helped | ||
foster a supportive and challenging educational environment, and in | ||
so doing, she has helped to equip her students with the skills they | ||
need to build fulfilling and productive lives; now, therefore, be | ||
it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby honor Martha Gonzalez for her achievements as | ||
principal of Wright Elementary School and extend to her sincere | ||
best wishes for continued success with her important work; and, be | ||
it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Ms. Gonzalez as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. | ||
