R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Christ Episcopal School in Nacogdoches is marking
the 75th anniversary of its founding in 2023; and
WHEREAS, The school traces its origins back to 1948, when the
Reverend Scott Field Baily, then the rector of Christ Episcopal
Church, established Christ Episcopal Day School; the first
Protestant private school in Nacogdoches, the institution only had
a kindergarten program when it first opened, with a prekindergarten
program and first-grade class added soon after; initially
accredited in 1973, the school operates within the Episcopal
Diocese of Texas; and
WHEREAS, Under the leadership of the head of school,
Catherine Fenci Oliver, Christ Episcopal School currently provides
a comprehensive Christian education to three-year-olds through
fifth-graders; the modern campus features a separate preschool
building as well as a library, a computer lab, art and music rooms,
a multi-purpose room, and administrative offices; and
WHEREAS, For three-quarters of a century, the faculty and
staff of Christ Episcopal School have dedicated themselves to
meeting the educational needs of their students, and the school has
played a vital role in helping many young Texans build a bright and
fulfilling future; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate the 75th anniversary of Christ
Episcopal School and extend to all those associated with the school
sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Christ Episcopal School as an expression of high
regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
