13 | 19 | | community support and began to flourish through its affiliation |

---|
22 | 28 | | a commitment to academic excellence; and |
---|
23 | 29 | | WHEREAS, In recognition of its centennial year, the |
---|
24 | 30 | | Montgomery Independent School District is honoring its proud |
---|
25 | 31 | | history and paying tribute to the countless individuals who have |
---|

---|
27 | 33 | | remains dedicated to its mission of providing exceptional |

31 | 37 | | history; now, therefore, be it |
