WHEREAS, Vista Hills Elementary School in El Paso has been | ||
nominated for a 2021 National Blue Ribbon School award, one of | ||
the most prestigious accolades an elementary or secondary school | ||
in the United States can receive; and | ||
WHEREAS, The National Blue Ribbon Schools Program was | ||
created by the U.S. Department of Education in 1982 to recognize | ||
campuses that have demonstrated superior academic performance or | ||
made notable progress in improving outcomes among economically | ||
disadvantaged students; Vista Hills Elementary is one of only 26 | ||
public schools in Texas to have earned a nomination for the 2021 | ||
award; and | ||
WHEREAS, Under the able leadership of principal Judith | ||
Calderon, Vista Hills Elementary was selected in the exemplary | ||
achievement-gap-closing school category as a result of student | ||
performance on the 2020 STAAR assessments; it joins two other | ||
campuses in the Ysleta Independent School District as a 2021 | ||
nominee; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through dedication, hard work, and perseverance, | ||
the teachers and students of Vista Hills Elementary have | ||
established a record of scholastic excellence, and their | ||
outstanding efforts have been duly recognized with the Blue | ||
Ribbon School award nomination; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th | ||
Legislature, hereby congratulate Vista Hills Elementary on its | ||
nomination for a 2021 U.S. Department of Education National Blue | ||
Ribbon School award and extend to its teachers, students, and | ||
staff sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it | ||
further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be | ||
