WHEREAS, St. Alcuin Montessori School in Dallas is
celebrating the 50th anniversary of its founding in 2014; and
WHEREAS, Established in 1964 by Episcopal priest Albert
Taliaferro, St. Alcuin Montessori originally operated as
Montessori School of Dallas, offering classes out of a home in
Highland Park for nearly 70 preschool-age children; now located on
a picturesque 12-acre campus, the institution has expanded to
include toddler, primary, and elementary programs, as well as an
International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme for the sixth,
seventh, and eighth grades; and
WHEREAS, St. Alcuin Montessori seeks to develop innovative
thinkers and passionate learners; faculty members, many of whom are
trained abroad at the Association Montessori Internationale,
engage their charges by challenging and nurturing them as they
develop self-confidence, competency, imagination, and the desire
to lead lives of positive influence; and
WHEREAS, For half a century, the teachers and staff of St.
Alcuin Montessori School have committed themselves to meeting the
educational needs of their students, and the school has played a
vital role in helping many young Texans build a bright and
prosperous future; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate the 50th anniversary of the founding
of St. Alcuin Montessori School and extend to all those associated
with the institution sincere best wishes for continued success;
and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the school as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
