Summary

H.R. No. 76 commemorates the 29th anniversary of Mount St. Michael Catholic School (MSMCS) located in Dallas, Texas. Established in 1986, the school initially served preschool through fourth-grade students and has since expanded to include eighth-grade students. The resolution highlights the school's commitment to classical education, utilizing the trivium approach which emphasizes grammar, logic, and rhetoric. The curriculum also incorporates the study of Latin, artistic pursuits, and traditional religious studies, making MSMCS an institution focused on both comprehensive education and spiritual development.

This positive sentiment aligns with a broader recognition of the importance of diverse educational options, including religious-based schooling.

Contention
