H.R. No. 20
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Juan C. Cerda was named salutatorian of the Class of
2011 at Grand Prairie High School, and for achieving this
significant honor, he indeed merits special recognition; and
WHEREAS, Earning the title of salutatorian requires not only
intellect and aptitude, but also four years of dedication to the
highest academic standards; the student who garners this coveted
distinction must demonstrate a thorough understanding of a wide
range of subjects, from math and science to language arts and social
studies, yet the rewards of the countless hours of study and
preparation are myriad; and
WHEREAS, In addition to the pride inherent in being
recognized as the second highest achieving student in his class,
the salutatorian is frequently the recipient of scholarships and
grants; he also gains the opportunity to address his fellow seniors
at commencement and to reflect on their shared history as well as
their hopes and ambitions for the future; and
WHEREAS, Throughout his academic career, Juan C. Cerda has
earned the respect and admiration of his teachers and classmates at
Grand Prairie High School, and his exceptional scholastic ability,
hard work, and commitment to excellence have surely opened the way
to limitless opportunities for this remarkable young Texan; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate Juan C. Cerda
on being named the 2011 salutatorian of Grand Prairie High School
and extend to him sincere best wishes for continued success in all
his endeavors; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. Cerda as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
