WHEREAS, Imogene Giesinger Elementary School in Conroe has
been named a National Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of
Education; and
WHEREAS, The Blue Ribbon designation recognizes schools that
have maintained superior levels of academic achievement or that are
making significant gains while serving an economically
disadvantaged student population; presented with the honor for its
overall academic excellence, Giesinger Elementary is among 25
campuses in Texas and fewer than 300 public and private schools in
the nation to be selected as Blue Ribbon Schools in 2014; and
WHEREAS, Under the skillful guidance of principal Rebecca
Shepard Page, Giesinger Elementary has been rated "Exemplary" by
the Texas Education Agency for three of the past five years, and in
2014, the school was named a Title I Reward School based on student
performance and improvement; these accomplishments are a testament
to the school's success in creating an engaging learning
environment in which the individual strengths and needs of each
student are considered, as well as to its productive efforts to
encourage the involvement of parents and community volunteers in
the education process; and
WHEREAS, Through their diligence, hard work, and dedication,
the teachers and students of Giesinger Elementary School have built
an impressive record of scholastic success, and they may take great
pride in earning this prestigious honor; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Imogene Giesinger Elementary
School on its selection as a 2014 Blue Ribbon School by the U.S.
Department of Education and extend to the school's students,
teachers, staff, and administrators sincere best wishes for
continued achievement; 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.
