	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The Argyle Independent School District is hosting a
	dedication ceremony on November 13, 2023, to name its
	administration building in honor of retired superintendent
	Dr. Telena Wright; and
	WHEREAS, Dr. Wright joined Argyle ISD in 2000 as principal of
	Argyle High School, and she went on to serve as the district's
	assistant superintendent before being installed as superintendent
	in 2009; during the course of her outstanding 15-year tenure as
	superintendent, she oversaw three successful bond programs that
	included the addition of several new campuses as well as
	renovations and other improvements to existing campuses; moreover,
	district enrollment increased from 1,700 to some 5,000 students,
	and she guided a team to develop a 10-year growth plan for the
	district; and
	WHEREAS, Under Dr. Wright's able leadership, Argyle ISD
	received a number of honors, including an A accountability rating
	from the Texas Education Agency and a district score of 97, the
	highest in the district's history; in addition, Argyle High
	achieved statewide success in University Interscholastic League
	competitions, earning 12 Lone Star Cup awards; and
	WHEREAS, Dr. Wright holds a bachelor's degree from The
	University of Texas at Austin, a master's degree in education from
	Hardin-Simmons University, and a doctorate in education from the
	University of North Texas; she began her career as a math teacher in
	San Angelo ISD, where she also served as an elementary and high
	school counselor, and she later served as an adjunct instructor at
	UNT; and
	WHEREAS, Throughout her tenure with Argyle ISD, Dr. Telena
	Wright demonstrated the passion, determination, and innovative
	spirit that are the hallmarks of our best educators, and the naming
	of the district administration building in her honor is a fitting
	tribute to her many contributions; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
	Legislature, 4th Called Session, hereby commemorate the dedication
	of the Argyle ISD Dr. Telena L. Wright Administration Building and
	commend Dr. Wright for her exemplary record of service; and, be it
	further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for Dr. Wright as an expression of high regard by the Texas
	House of Representatives.
