Impact

While HR2617 is a resolution rather than a bill that changes legislative law, it serves to spotlight the contributions of youth in the arts within Texas. By recognizing students at this level, it encourages further participation in the performing arts and inspires other students in Texas schools to explore their talents in such competitions. This type of recognition also promotes a sense of community engagement and support for educational programs that foster performing arts.

Summary

House Resolution 2617 recognizes the outstanding achievements of Charity Perry and Cutter Babcock, students from Groom High School, who received Honorable Mention All-Star Cast recognition at the University Interscholastic League (UIL) for their performances in the one-act play competition for the 2016-2017 season. The resolution acknowledges their roles in the production of 'Dark Road' by Laura Lundgren Smith, highlighting the excellence and dedication that they demonstrated throughout the competition. The House of Representatives aims to commend these students for their hard work and the pride they have brought to their community and school.

Contention

As this resolution focuses on recognizing students rather than enacting or modifying laws, there are limited points of contention. However, it's important to consider the broader implications of how such recognitions influence perceptions of educational achievement and arts funding in schools. Celebrating achievements at formal levels, such as the House of Representatives, reinforces the value of arts education and may lead to discussions regarding support and funding for similar programs in the future.
