         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

  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 State of Texas, 88th
  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
