WHEREAS, Dustin George, a senior at Lorena High School, has
been named a finalist for a National Merit Scholarship; and
WHEREAS, Established in 1955, the National Merit Scholarship
Program honors less than one percent of all high school seniors each

but also in extracurricular activities, and he takes part in band,
robotics, University Interscholastic League academics, football,
computerized game design, and one-act play competition; moreover,
he is involved in the youth and children's ministry at his church,
and he holds a part-time job at Chick-fil-A; he plans to pursue a
career in mechanical engineering and has narrowed his college
choices down to MIT, Baylor University, and Rose-Hulman Institute
of Technology; and
WHEREAS, His scholastic achievement places Mr. George at the
forefront of academic excellence in the nation, and it is indeed a
pleasure to honor this notable student who is well prepared to face
the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead; now, therefore, be
it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Dustin George on being selected as
a finalist in the National Merit Scholarship Program and extend to
him sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
