sponsor of an Early College High School program; and
WHEREAS, Established through a partnership with the Texas

Silva, Katherine Wolfe, Natalie Barreiro, Maria Limas, Alondra
Moncada, and Daniel Munoz; and
WHEREAS, This worthwhile program would not be possible
without the support of Superintendent Fernando Castillo and the
local school board, which includes President Michael Rene Vela,
Vice President Raul Martinez, Secretary Juan J. Ramos, Treasurer
David Hernandez, and trustees Raul Martinez, Jr., Felix Hernandez,
Jr., and Juan T. Vela; and
WHEREAS, By creating a seamless transition between high
school and college, the Progreso ISD Early College High School
program is bringing countless young Texans closer to their goal of
achieving a higher education; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby honor the Progreso Independent School District
for its Early College High School program and extend to all those
associated with this important initiative sincere best wishes for
continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the district as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
