|
||
WHEREAS, Mount St. Michael Catholic School in the Oak Cliff | ||
community of Dallas is celebrating its 28th anniversary in 2014; | ||
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, 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, The institution is also home to the only accredited | ||
Catholic Montessori school in the Dallas-Fort Worth area; | ||
established in 1978, the program currently serves children ages | ||
three to five; and | ||
WHEREAS, Because of the thorough work of MSMCS educators, | ||
many of the school's alumni are making their mark on society, | ||
including those who are pursuing advanced academic degrees in our | ||
nation's colleges or participating in holy orders; and | ||
WHEREAS, For 28 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 83rd Texas | ||
Legislature hereby commemorate the 28th 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. | ||
Alonzo | ||
