WHEREAS, St. Anthony School in Robstown is commemorating the
100th anniversary of its founding with a celebration in 2016; and
WHEREAS, Founded in 1916 by the Missionary Sisters of the
Most Pure Virgin Mary, St. Anthony School initially served 20
students who were the children of Mexican migrant farmworkers; as
the Robstown community changed over the years, so did the school,
which constructed a new facility in the mid-1960s; by 1997, the
school had expanded to include programs for prekindergarten through
the eighth grade; and
WHEREAS, Today St. Anthony School continues to serve a
predominately Hispanic student population; in addition to teaching
the traditional subjects, the school uses computer technology to
enhance learning and to equip students with the skills needed to
succeed; with the support of devoted alumni, families, and
teachers, the school remains a source of estimable faith-based
instruction and inspiration; and
WHEREAS, For a century, St. Anthony School has provided a
number of young Texans with a strong educational foundation, and it
is indeed fitting to recognize the school at this point in its rich
history; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate the 100th anniversary of
St. Anthony School in Robstown and extend to its administrators,
faculty, staff, and students sincere best wishes for the future;
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.
