A RESOLUTION to honor and recognize Alyssa Raelynn Gray, 2023 Top Ten Senior, Collinwood High School.

Impact

Although HJR0447 is primarily a resolution recognizing a student's achievements rather than a bill that impacts state law directly, it serves to underscore the importance that the General Assembly places on educational success and the recognition of outstanding students within the state. Resolutions such as this can foster a culture that values academic hard work and may inspire other students to strive for excellence in their own educational endeavors.

Summary

House Joint Resolution 447 (HJR0447) serves to honor Alyssa Raelynn Gray, a distinguished student from Collinwood High School, who has achieved remarkable academic success, being recognized as one of the Top Ten Seniors of her 2023 graduating class. This resolution highlights her diligent study, impressive academic performance, and active participation in extracurricular activities such as basketball, softball, and various clubs including the Beta Club and Fellowship of Christian Athletes. The resolution is a formal commendation of her achievements, reflecting the pride her parents, school, and community take in her accomplishments.

Contention

Since HJR0447 is a resolution focused on honoring an individual student, there are no notable points of contention typically associated with legislative bills, such as financial implications or regulatory changes. The unanimous support reflected in its voting history—31 yeas and 0 nays—indicates a collective agreement among lawmakers regarding the importance of recognizing student achievements. The resolution could, however, raise discussions on the value of such recognitions in a larger educational context or the role of government in celebrating individual accomplishments.
