|
||
WHEREAS, Proud representatives from the Frisco Independent | ||
School District are gathering in Austin on March 5, 2019, in | ||
celebration of Frisco ISD Day at the State Capitol; and | ||
WHEREAS, One of the fastest-growing school districts in the | ||
country, Frisco ISD serves more than 60,000 students in 42 | ||
elementary schools, 17 middle schools, 10 high schools, and 3 | ||
special programs centers; each year, thousands of families choose | ||
to call Frisco home due to the district's outstanding reputation | ||
for academic excellence, innovative courses, and wealth of | ||
extracurricular opportunities and experiences; and | ||
WHEREAS, Despite the explosive growth the district has | ||
experienced over the past three decades, Frisco ISD remains | ||
committed to its mission to know every student by name and need, | ||
providing small, personalized learning environments and a | ||
student-to-teacher ratio lower than the national average; more than | ||
7,000 faculty and staff members work tirelessly each day to prepare | ||
the district's students for the challenges and opportunities that | ||
lie ahead; and | ||
WHEREAS, Today the Frisco ISD four-year graduation rate is an | ||
impressive 98.6 percent, and the district has won a host of | ||
accolades, including the Texas Honors Circle Award, the College | ||
Board AP District Honor Roll, and the Platinum Leadership Circle | ||
Award from the Texas Comptroller's Office; furthermore, the | ||
district has contributed significantly to the exceptional quality | ||
of life in Frisco, which was named the Best Place to Live in America | ||
by Money magazine in 2018; and | ||
WHEREAS, Committed to effectively serving the needs of | ||
students, the outstanding teachers, administrators, and staff of | ||
Frisco ISD are helping area youth succeed academically and reach | ||
their full potential, and it is truly fitting to recognize the | ||
immense impact these public servants are making on their community | ||
and the State of Texas; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby recognize March 5, 2019, as Frisco Independent | ||
School District Day at the State Capitol and extend to the visiting | ||
delegation sincere best wishes for a rewarding and memorable event. | ||
