H.R. No. 712
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Fourth-grade students of St. Mark's School of Texas
in Dallas are visiting the State Capitol on April 10, 2025,
providing a fitting opportunity to recognize the school's rich
history; and
WHEREAS, The campus traces its roots to 1906, when founder
Menter B. Terrill and his wife, Ada, established The Terrill School
for Boys; in 1946, the campus reopened as Cathedral School for Boys,
and four years later, it merged with Texas Country Day School to
form St. Mark's, a nonsectarian, college-preparatory, independent
day school for boys in grades 1 through 12; and
WHEREAS, St. Mark's strives to provide students with
well-rounded physical, intellectual, moral, and religious training
and instruction; today, the school serves more than 900 students,
and it offers challenging programs in the sciences, arts, and
humanities, as well as a variety of opportunities for involvement
and leadership on campus; and
WHEREAS, Over the past 119 years, St. Mark's has provided
countless young Texans a strong academic foundation on which to
build, and the school is indeed deserving of special recognition;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
Legislature hereby honor the fourth-grade students of St. Mark's
School of Texas on the occasion of their visit to the State Capitol
and extend to them sincere best wishes for the future.
