|
||
| WHEREAS, A delegation from Chinquapin Preparatory School in | ||
| Highlands is visiting the State Capitol on March 27, 2019; and | ||
| WHEREAS, With the help of a grant from The Brown Foundation, | ||
| Chinquapin Prep was established in 1969 by Robert Moore of | ||
| St. John's School and his wife, Maxine Moore; in the decades since | ||
| its founding, the school has worked to equip economically | ||
| disadvantaged students with the knowledge and skills necessary to | ||
| succeed in college and beyond; in addition to promoting academic | ||
| excellence through its rigorous curriculum, the school has also | ||
| fostered a sense of personal responsibility and civic duty by | ||
| focusing on community service and on earning what one receives; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Drawing its students from throughout the Houston | ||
| area, Chinquapin Prep currently serves approximately 160 sixth | ||
| through 12th graders, including an exceptional class of graduating | ||
| seniors, all 22 of whom have been accepted to at least one four-year | ||
| college; the school benefits from the leadership of director | ||
| Dr. Laura Henry; and | ||
| WHEREAS, For the past half century, Chinquapin Prep has | ||
| helped many young Texans from underserved families become engaged | ||
| and productive citizens, and the school is indeed deserving of | ||
| recognition at this time; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby honor the delegation from Chinquapin | ||
| Preparatory School on the occasion of its visit to the State Capitol | ||
| and extend to all those associated with the school sincere best | ||
| wishes for the future. | ||
| Johnson of Harris | ||
