R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Each year, the most accomplished students are named
as valedictorians and salutatorians of their respective schools,
and a group of outstanding young men and women in the Rio Grande
Valley have earned this prestigious honor as members of the Class of
2017; and
WHEREAS, The Rio Grande Valley Partnership recognized the top
two graduating seniors from every high school in the region at its
28th annual Valley Proud Honors Banquet on May 22, 2017; a total of
113 students were commended for their scholastic excellence, and a
number of these talented young people will be selected to receive

are myriad; and

may reflect with great pride on their many accomplishments as they
embark on the next exciting chapter of their lives; now, therefore,
be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas

each of them sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it
