Summary

House Resolution 2981 commends Michael Bass, a student at Spring Hill High School in Longview, for his remarkable accomplishment of qualifying for the 2009 University Interscholastic League (UIL) Academic State Meet. The resolution highlights his participation in the Number Sense, Calculator Applications, and Mathematics categories, showcasing his exceptional skills and dedication.
