Summary

HR1899 is a resolution from the Texas House of Representatives that recognizes and congratulates the Brandeis High School JROTC drill teams for their outstanding performances during the 2008-2009 school year. The resolution highlights the exceptional achievements of the teams, which included winning 23 varsity trophies and placing third overall in the Air Force Western National Drill Championships. Additionally, it notes that the Blue Aces Unarmed Drill Team, under the command of Cadet Dawn Naville, won the 2009 Air Force JROTC Varsity Unarmed State Championship in their inaugural season.

While the resolution celebrates the accomplishments of the JROTC drill teams, it also reflects a broader context of valuing military-related programs in educational institutions. Some individuals may contend that an emphasis on military training in schools could lead to differing opinions about the role of such programs in a civilian education system. Nonetheless, HR1899 is largely ceremonial in nature and promotes a spirit of appreciation and pride in the achievements of youth.
