Recognizing Harmony Public Schools on the occasion of its 20th anniversary.
The resolution highlights the exemplary contributions that Harmony Public Schools have made to the educational landscape in Texas over the past two decades. It mentions the financial responsibility awards received from the Texas Association of School Business Officials and a superior financial accountability rating from the Texas Education Agency across its districts. By honoring Harmony Public Schools, the resolution reinforces the importance of supporting and recognizing exemplary educational institutions that provide quality education and opportunities for their students.
Senate Resolution 54 (SR54) is a formal recognition by the Texas Senate of Harmony Public Schools, celebrating its 20th anniversary. Established in 2000, Harmony Public Schools has grown to encompass 58 campuses across Texas, with roots in the Harmony Science Academy in Houston. The resolution acknowledges the achievements of Harmony schools, particularly their recognition by U.S. News and World Report as among the best high schools in the nation and the significant awards earned by its students in various science competitions.
While SR54 serves a ceremonial purpose and is generally supportive of the achievements of Harmony Public Schools, it does not delve into any contentious points or opposing viewpoints regarding the operations or policies of the schools. As a resolution, it is primarily celebratory and does not propose changes to state law or educational policy. This lack of contention may reflect a broader support for school choice and educational diversity among public school systems in Texas.
