By: Blanco | S.R. No. 457 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Harmony Science Academy - El Paso and Harmony School | ||
of Science in the Harmony Public Schools West Texas District have | ||
been named 2023 State Schools of Character by Character.org; and | ||
WHEREAS, Each year, Character.org certifies schools and | ||
school districts that demonstrate a dedicated focus on character | ||
development that in turn has a positive effect on academic | ||
achievement, student behavior, and school climate; to qualify for | ||
the School of Character designation, campuses must implement | ||
comprehensive, multiyear character education programs and undergo | ||
a rigorous evaluation process; in 2023, only 15 schools in Texas and | ||
73 schools across the nation received Character School honors; and | ||
WHEREAS, Part of the Harmony Public Schools system, Harmony | ||
Science Academy - El Paso and Harmony School of Science are | ||
tuition-free, open enrollment charter schools that serve students | ||
in the West Texas area; alongside a curriculum focused on science, | ||
technology, engineering, and math, both campuses offer character | ||
education, which encourages students to develop and practice such | ||
traits as integrity, determination, and empathy; and | ||
WHEREAS, By fostering learning environments that emphasize | ||
positive values and personal growth, Harmony Science Academy - El | ||
Paso and Harmony School of Science are providing students with | ||
important instruction that will serve them well throughout their | ||
lives, and each school's commitment to this endeavor is truly | ||
commendable; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 88th Texas Legislature | ||
hereby congratulate Harmony Science Academy - El Paso and Harmony | ||
School of Science on being named 2023 State Schools of Character by | ||
Character.org and extend to all those associated with the schools | ||
sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That official copies of this resolution be prepared | ||
for the schools as an expression of high regard by the Texas Senate. |
