recognize the Houston Hispanic Forum on the occasion of its 31st | ||
annual Career and Education Day, which is taking place on | ||
February 18, 2017; and | ||
WHEREAS, Career and Education Day is an effort to lower | ||
the rates of students who drop out of high school each year and | ||
an opportunity to educate students and parents about the many | ||
academic and career pathways available beyond high school; | ||
approximately 13,000 students from districts throughout the | ||
region take part in the yearly event; and | ||
WHEREAS, More than 100 representatives from colleges, | ||

Education Day to showcase an array of career or collegiate | ||
options; and | ||
WHEREAS, This year, the Houston Hispanic Forum has | ||
partnered with a number of community organizations to provide | ||
specialized services to students; attendees can visit a | ||
mentorship section to connect with mentors from their local | ||
communities, and a Newcomers Circle has been established to | ||
provide support to young refugees and students who have only | ||
recently arrived in the area; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Houston Hispanic Forum is committed to | ||
empowering and inspiring students of the Lone Star State, and | ||
Career and Education Day will help young Texans gain the | ||
knowledge they need to succeed in our modern society; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th | ||
Legislature, hereby commend all associated with the Houston | ||
Hispanic Forum for their efforts to help young Texans build | ||
rewarding paths for the future and extend to all participants | ||
