groundbreaking ceremony on February 16, 2017, to commemorate the
start of construction on a new building addition; and
WHEREAS, This outstanding educational institution serves
more than 2,100 students in 9th through 12th grade; under the able

experiences to prepare students for professions in that vital
field; and
WHEREAS, Westbury is one of 40 schools in the Houston

portable buildings will be removed so that tennis courts can be
erected in their place; and

to the future of our state, and with these vital renovations to
their campus, the faculty and staff of Westbury High School will be
better equipped to help students reach their full potential and
