H.R. No. 819
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, For 80 years, Resurrection Catholic School has
provided high-quality education to students in Houston's Denver
Harbor area and beyond; and
WHEREAS, The school was originally staffed by four sisters of
St. Mary of Namur, who came from Fort Worth to organize the
undertaking; its first building, a six-room facility, was blessed
and dedicated by Bishop C. E. Byrne on September 12, 1937, and
classes began the following day; as the local population grew, so
did the school's enrollment, and as a result, a new building was
constructed in 1962; and
WHEREAS, Today, RCS offers a faith-based learning
environment for prekindergarten through eighth-grade students, and
it employs a curriculum that includes religion, language arts,
mathematics, science, and social studies, as well as art, computer
technology, physical education, and use of the library; and
WHEREAS, Over the past eight decades, Resurrection Catholic
School has equipped a number of young Texans with a strong
educational foundation, and it is indeed fitting that the school be
recognized at this point in its rich history; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate the 80th anniversary of
Resurrection Catholic School and extend to all those associated
with the institution sincere best wishes for continued success;
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.
