SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 606
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
join the citizens of Houston and Texans across the state in
celebrating the rededication of the Houston Community College
Town and Country Campus as the Spring Branch Campus; and
WHEREAS, Houston Community College has been serving the
residents of the Spring Branch area since 1986, when it expanded
its programs and offerings at the Westchester Campus; and
WHEREAS, Since then, the college has played an important
role in furthering higher education in the area; it began
offering dual credit classes to Spring Branch Independent School
District students in 1992; and
WHEREAS, The Town and Country Campus opened its doors in
2001, and enrollment quickly grew to 6,500 students; the college
has continued to work in cooperation with the public schools and
has developed the Early College High School program in
partnership with the school district; and
WHEREAS, Today, the campus in Spring Branch continues to
provide high quality, affordable education to area residents,
with opportunities for academic advancement, career and
technical training, and lifelong learning; it is truly deserving
of recognition as it undergoes this important transformation;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 81st
Legislature, hereby commend the students, faculty, and staff of
the Houston Community College Town and Country Campus on their
many contributions to the community and extend best wishes for a
memorable rededication ceremony as it becomes the Spring Branch
Campus; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
this outstanding institution of higher learning as an expression
of high regard from the Texas Senate.
