H.R. No. 1110
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Cathedral High School in El Paso is celebrating its
85th anniversary with a gala on May 7, 2011; and
WHEREAS, The only Catholic, all-boys high school in the city,
Cathedral High School was founded by the De La Salle Christian
Brothers in 1925; the school offers its students a faith-based
education that prepares them to succeed in college and the world at
large; more than 5,000 young men have graduated from Cathedral
since it opened its doors, and many of the school's alumni have gone
on to become leaders in the community and in their professions; and
WHEREAS, Guided by its mission "to teach minds and touch
hearts," Cathedral High School provides its students with a
first-rate academic curriculum, combined with moral and spiritual
instruction grounded in Catholic teachings; in 2006 the school
launched the Center for Advanced Studies, which enables students to
take college-level classes on campus and earn up to 30 college
credits before graduating; Cathedral students also enjoy
opportunities to participate in sports and other extracurricular
activities, and each year they volunteer their time in the
community; and
WHEREAS, "La Cate," as the school is affectionately known,
draws students from Juarez as well as El Paso, and the fellowship
that they experience has helped to foster understanding and
cooperation between the border cities; and
WHEREAS, For 85 years, Cathedral High School has contributed
to the academic and spiritual growth of its students, producing
young men of conscience and compassion, and the tradition of
excellence it has established is truly worthy of recognition; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate the 85th anniversary of Cathedral
High School and extend to all those associated with the school
sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Cathedral High School as an expression of high regard
by the Texas House of Representatives.
