R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City Independent
School District was named among the top five school districts in the
State of Texas for new National Board-certified teachers in 2024;
and
WHEREAS, One of the most respected professional credentials
in education, National Board certification was designed to develop,
retain, and recognize accomplished teachers and to generate ongoing
improvement in schools nationwide; attaining the distinction is a
rigorous process requiring that candidates meet the highest

student learning; only 183 educators in Texas were certified by the

instructors who earned this prestigious certification were Melissa
Dean and Christy Stoddard of Norma J. Paschal Elementary School in
Schertz, Kathryn Muha of J. Frank Dobie Junior High School in
Cibolo, Lauren Rollins and Connie Baker of Samuel Clemens High
School in Schertz, and April Phillips of Byron P. Steele II High
School in Cibolo; and
WHEREAS, These distinguished educators exemplify the
passion, determination, and innovative spirit that are the
hallmarks of our best teachers, and they have set a standard of
excellence to which all in their profession may aspire; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize the Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City
Independent School District for being one of the top five school
districts for new National Board-certified teachers in the State of
