R E S O L U T I O N
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.
