| able guidance of its principal, Kristina L. Smith; the school | ||
| features a program specialization in fine arts as well as a | ||
| comprehensive curriculum focused on the development of academic | ||
| and leadership skills, and it also offers a wide range of | ||
| extracurricular activities, including band, coding club, theater | ||
| arts, and athletics; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Over the course of the last century, Hawthorne | ||
| Academy has provided area youth with a strong educational | ||
| foundation on which to build, and it has made a lasting and | ||
| positive impact in the lives of generations of San Antonio | ||
| residents; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th | ||
| Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby commemorate the | ||
