WHEREAS, Clendenin Elementary School in El Paso has been | ||
nominated for a 2021 National Blue Ribbon School award, one of the | ||
most prestigious accolades an elementary or secondary school in the | ||
United States can receive; and | ||
WHEREAS, The National Blue Ribbon Schools Program was created | ||
by the U.S. Department of Education in 1982 to recognize campuses | ||
that have demonstrated superior academic performance or made | ||
notable progress in improving outcomes among economically | ||
disadvantaged students; Clendenin Elementary is one of only 26 | ||
public schools in Texas to have earned a nomination for the 2021 | ||
award; and | ||
WHEREAS, Under the able leadership of principal Martha | ||
Martinez, Clendenin Elementary was selected in the exemplary | ||
achievement-gap-closing school category as a result of student | ||
performance on the 2020 STAAR assessments; it joins three other | ||
campuses in the El Paso Independent School District as a 2021 | ||
nominee; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through dedication, hard work, and perseverance, | ||
the teachers and students of Clendenin Elementary have established | ||
a record of scholastic excellence, and their outstanding efforts | ||
have been duly recognized with the Blue Ribbon School award | ||
nomination; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate Clendenin Elementary on its | ||
nomination for a 2021 U.S. Department of Education National Blue | ||
Ribbon School award and extend to its teachers, students, and staff | ||
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. |
