| H.R. No. 32 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Mount St. Michael Catholic School in the Oak Cliff | ||
| community of Dallas is celebrating its 25th anniversary on | ||
| March 4, 2011; and | ||
| WHEREAS, An educational apostolate of the Christian | ||
| Community of God's Delight, MSMCS began as the Prince of Peace | ||
| Community School in 1986; classes were initially held for preschool | ||
| through fourth-grade students, and one grade level was added during | ||
| each of the next four years until the current eighth-grade level was | ||
| reached; the name was changed to Mount St. Michael Catholic School | ||
| in 2007; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The school's Montessori educational program and | ||
| strong academic standards draw students from across the Metroplex; | ||
| children from 42 different zip codes and diverse socioeconomic | ||
| backgrounds attend the school, and enrollment has increased by more | ||
| than 50 percent in the past four years; and | ||
| WHEREAS, MSMCS employs a classical curriculum known as the | ||
| trivium, a three-phased approach that emphasizes grammar, logic, | ||
| and rhetoric and includes the mandatory study of Latin starting in | ||
| the first grade; in addition, students have the opportunity to | ||
| participate in artistic pursuits such as band, art, and dance while | ||
| also taking part in traditional religious studies; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Because of the thorough work of MSMCS educators, 100 | ||
| percent of the school's graduates who have applied have been | ||
| accepted to the high school of their choice; many alumni are already | ||
| making their mark on society, including those who are pursuing | ||
| advanced academic degrees in our nation's colleges or entering holy | ||
| orders; and | ||
| WHEREAS, For 25 years, the faculty and staff of Mount | ||
| St. Michael Catholic School have committed themselves to meeting | ||
| the educational needs of their students, and the school has played a | ||
| vital role in helping many young Texans build a bright and | ||
| prosperous future; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby commemorate the 25th anniversary of Mount | ||
| St. Michael Catholic School and extend to all those associated with | ||
| the institution sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be | ||
| it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for the school as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives. | ||
