R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Wester Middle School, in the Frisco Independent
School District, has been recognized as a 2011 School to Watch by
the Texas Middle School Association; and
WHEREAS, The Schools to Watch program was created in 1999 by
the National Forum to Accelerate Middle-Grades Reform, an alliance
of educators, researchers, and officers of professional
organizations and foundations dedicated to the development and
academic success of middle school students; the forum partners with
organizations in 19 states to identify high-performing middle
schools that have established a record of academic achievement,
developmental responsiveness, and social equity and that have
created an organizational structure to sustain those
accomplishments; and
WHEREAS, Wester Middle School is one of only 11 schools in
Texas to earn this prestigious honor; led by principal Angela
Romney, the school has a staff of 88 and an enrollment of
approximately 800 students in the sixth through eighth grades; in
2010, Wester Middle School earned an Exemplary rating from the
Texas Education Agency, and this latest accolade affirms the
school's ongoing commitment to educating and empowering its young
people; and
WHEREAS, Through hard work, commitment, and perseverance,
the administrators, teachers, and students of Wester Middle School
have established a record of academic excellence, and their
outstanding efforts are indeed worthy of special recognition; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Wester Middle School on being named
a 2011 School to Watch by the Texas Middle School Association and
extend to all those associated with the school sincere best wishes
for continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Wester Middle School as an expression of high regard by
the Texas House of Representatives.
