SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 12
WHEREAS, The strength and cohesion of our communities are
enhanced by the devoted efforts of individuals such as Carol
Greer, whose tireless work has contributed immeasurably to the
quality of life in her hometown of Hallsville; and
WHEREAS, A lifelong resident of Hallsville and a proud
Hallsville Independent School District Bobcat, Mrs. Greer earned
a bachelor's degree in elementary and physical education and went
on to receive a master's degree and an administrative
certification in education; following in the footsteps of her
mother, a first-grade teacher in Hallsville, Mrs. Greer taught
ninth-grade English before filling the district's need for a
physical education instructor, a job that became her passion for
25 years; and
WHEREAS, After receiving training in public relations,
Mrs. Greer transitioned to the role of district spokeswoman and
then to community outreach coordinator; her work has involved
serving as a liaison with the public and sharing stories about
school activities and student achievements through various
Hallsville Independent School District publications; in
addition, she has helped oversee many district events and
programs, while also maintaining the upkeep of its website,
social media pages, yearbooks, and scrapbooks; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Greer has volunteered her time in behalf of
the wider community by assisting with the coordination of a
multitude of parades and other events, including festivities for
the 150th anniversary of Hallsville's founding in 2019; known by
the nickname "Mrs. Hallsville" by many, she has been honored as a
Distinguished Alumna of Hallsville High School and as a Citizen
of the Year by the Hallsville Chamber of Commerce; and
WHEREAS, Carol Greer has demonstrated a lasting commitment
to making Hallsville a better place for all, and in so doing, she
has earned the deep respect and appreciation of her fellow
residents; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th
Legislature, hereby commend Carol Greer for her contributions to
the Hallsville Independent School District and the Hallsville
community and extend to her sincere best wishes for continued
happiness and fulfillment in her work; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be
prepared for Mrs. Greer as an expression of high regard by the
Texas Senate.
