A CONCURRENT RESOLUTI ON
To commend Don de Mahy upon being named a National Merit Finalist.
WHEREAS, it is with great pride that the Legislature of Louisiana recognizes the
accomplishments of one of the state's most academically gifted sons; and
WHEREAS, Mr. de Mahy earned the title of National Merit Finalist as a result of his
qualifying test score, which was one of the highest in the state of Louisiana; and
WHEREAS, Mr. de Mahy is one of only about fifteen thousand students in the
country to be named a National Merit Finalist; and
WHEREAS, Don de Mahy is a senior at Catholic High School in New Iberia, where
he has maintained a 4.0 grade point average; and
WHEREAS, although Mr. de Mahy aspires to be his class's valedictorian, he also
endeavors to serve those less fortunate; last year he set aside time to travel to Guatemala on
a mission trip to build rain gutters; and
WHEREAS, Mr. de Mahy merits a special measure of commendation for his
outstanding achievements as a student and citizen.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Legislature of Louisiana does hereby
commend Don de Mahy for being named a National Merit Finalist, does hereby commend
