R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Mount St. Michael Catholic School in the Oak Cliff
community of Dallas is celebrating its 28th anniversary in 2014;
and
WHEREAS, An educational apostolate of the Christian
Community of God's Delight, MSMCS began as the Prince of Peace
Community School in 1986; classes were initially held for preschool
through fourth-grade students, and one grade level was added during
each of the next four years until the current eighth-grade level was
reached; the name was changed to Mount St. Michael Catholic School
in 2007; and
WHEREAS, MSMCS employs a classical curriculum known as the
trivium, a three-phased approach that emphasizes grammar, logic,
and rhetoric and includes the mandatory study of Latin starting in
the first grade; in addition, students have the opportunity to
participate in artistic pursuits such as band, art, and dance while
also taking part in traditional religious studies; and
WHEREAS, The institution is also home to the only accredited
Catholic Montessori school in the Dallas-Fort Worth area;
established in 1978, the program currently serves children ages
three to five; and
WHEREAS, Because of the thorough work of MSMCS educators,
many of the school's alumni are making their mark on society,
including those who are pursuing advanced academic degrees in our
nation's colleges or participating in holy orders; and
WHEREAS, For 28 years, the faculty and staff of Mount
St. Michael Catholic 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 28th anniversary of Mount
St. Michael Catholic 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.
