Impact

The resolution celebrates the role of Hamilton Park Pacesetter Magnet School in promoting an innovative and research-based educational program for its approximately 660 students, spanning prekindergarten to sixth grade. The school emphasizes positive cultural interaction and tailor's education to meet the individual strengths of each student. The achievements of its dedicated faculty, led by Principal Megan Timme and Assistant Principal Kay Simms, are also highlighted as instrumental in reaching the school's academic goals.

Summary

House Resolution 1015 honors Hamilton Park Pacesetter Magnet School in Dallas, which achieved a 'Recognized' status from the Texas Education Agency (TEA) in 2008.
