SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 457
WHEREAS, Harmony Science Academy - El Paso and Harmony
School of Science in the Harmony Public Schools West Texas
District have been named 2023 State Schools of Character by
Character.org; and
WHEREAS, Each year, 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; to qualify

School honors; and
WHEREAS, Part of the Harmony Public Schools system,
Harmony Science Academy - El Paso and Harmony School of Science
are tuition-free, open enrollment charter schools that serve
students in the West Texas area; alongside a curriculum focused
on science, technology, engineering, and math, both campuses
offer character education, which encourages students to develop
and practice such traits as integrity, determination, and
empathy; and
WHEREAS, By fostering learning environments that emphasize
positive values and personal growth, Harmony Science Academy - El
Paso and Harmony School of Science are providing students with
important instruction that will serve them well throughout their
lives, and each school's commitment to this endeavor is truly
commendable; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
Legislature, hereby congratulate Harmony Science Academy - El
Paso and Harmony School of Science on being named 2023 State
Schools of Character by Character.org and extend to all those
associated with the schools sincere best wishes for the future;
