         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.
