H.R. No. 1414
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Representatives from La Joya ISD are visiting Austin
on March 24, 2015, in celebration of La Joya Independent School
District Day at the State Capitol; and
WHEREAS, A rapidly growing district, La Joya ISD includes 23
elementary schools, 8 middle schools, and 6 high schools, as well as
the College and Career Center and two academies; the administration
has worked tirelessly to improve college readiness and encourage
more young people to pursue higher education, and today, students
can complete associate's degrees at Jimmy Carter Early College High
School and STEM Early College High School; and
WHEREAS, More than 94 percent of students graduate with a
recommended or distinguished achievement diploma, and the
three-year dropout rate is less than three percent; the district,
which in 2014 "met standard," the top Texas Education Agency
rating, offers a well-rounded curriculum, and in recent years,
students have excelled in such areas as band competitions and the
ExxonMobil Texas Science and Engineering Fair; in 2013, the
Palmview High School mariachi and folklorico groups were invited to
appear in the inaugural parade in Washington, D.C.; and
WHEREAS, Under the leadership of superintendent Dr. Alda
Benavides, the district has invested significantly in technology,
employee and student wellness, safety, and career education;
teachers, hourly employees, and administrators all received raises
two years in a row, yet property taxes were not increased; and
WHEREAS, The education of young Texans is a vital enterprise,
and the La Joya Independent School District has demonstrated a
strong commitment to providing a challenging and supportive
learning environment to prepare its graduates for future success;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize March 24, 2015, as La Joya Independent
School District Day at the State Capitol and extend to the visiting
delegation sincere best wishes for an informative and enjoyable
stay in Austin.
