WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize Saint Joseph Catholic School in Bryan on the occasion | ||
of its 120th anniversary, which is being celebrated January 28, | ||
2015; and | ||
WHEREAS, Saint Joseph Catholic School opened its doors in | ||
the fall of 1894; it has grown from a single school building to an | ||
entire school system on three campuses that educates children | ||
from eight weeks old through high school; it is the only Catholic | ||
school in the state to serve such a wide range of ages in its | ||
students; and | ||
WHEREAS, The school is under the leadership of Reverend | ||
Monsignor John McCaffrey, who instituted a three-tiered vision | ||
under which the school encourages excellence in faith formation, | ||
education, and athletics; its more than 350 students are served | ||
by a dedicated faculty and staff; and | ||
WHEREAS, The celebration of the school's 120th anniversary | ||
is being held in conjunction with National Catholic Schools Week, | ||
which is being observed January 25 through 31, 2015; and | ||
WHEREAS, Saint Joseph Catholic School has been an important | ||
part of the Bryan community for 120 years, and this exceptional | ||
educational institution is truly worthy of legislative recognition | ||
for its long history of service; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th | ||
Legislature, hereby commend the students, faculty, and staff of | ||
Saint Joseph Catholic School on their commitment to education and | ||
extend to them best wishes for a memorable 120th anniversary | ||
celebration; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
the school as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. | ||
