R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Harmony School of Science-Houston has been named a
2021 National School of Character by Character.org; and
WHEREAS, The national nonprofit Character.org certifies
schools and school districts that demonstrate a dedicated focus on
character development that in turn has a positive effect on
academic achievement, student behavior, and school climate; its

WHEREAS, Part of a statewide public charter school system
that serves youth in prekindergarten through the 12th grade,
HSS-Houston is one of only 47 campuses from across the nation to be
chosen as a 2021 National School of Character; alongside a
curriculum focused on science, technology, engineering, and math,
the school teaches character education, which encourages students
to develop and practice such traits as respect, responsibility,
honesty, and empathy; and
WHEREAS, By creating a learning environment that emphasizes
positive values and personal growth, HSS-Houston is providing
students with important instruction that will serve them well
throughout their lives, and the school's commitment to this
endeavor is truly commendable; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Harmony School of Science-Houston
on its designation as a 2021 National School of Character by
Character.org and extend to its students, staff, and parents
sincere best wishes for the future; 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.
