become the top district for college readiness in Texas, now a | ||

history, which passed with 60 percent of the vote and has | ||
facilitated extensive rebuilding and renovation efforts; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through his skill, professionalism, and vision, | ||
Mike Falick greatly benefited Spring Branch ISD, and his devotion | ||
