A RESOLUTION to honor and commend Kenwood High School upon being designated a Tennessee STEM/STEAM school.
Summary
House Resolution 7005 is a ceremonial resolution honoring and commending Kenwood High School in Clarksville for being designated a Tennessee STEM/STEAM school by the Tennessee Department of Education. The resolution recognizes the school’s achievement as one of only eleven schools to receive the designation that year and notes that Kenwood High School has earned the distinction twice, reflecting sustained excellence in STEM/STEAM education.
The resolution praises the school’s administration, faculty, staff, students, and parents for creating an environment that supports rigorous STEM-related learning opportunities and prepares students for postsecondary education and high-quality careers. It concludes by extending best wishes for continued success and directing that an appropriate copy be prepared for presentation.
Impact
HR7005 does not change or create any state law, program, or funding mechanism. Its effect is limited to an official legislative commendation entered into the House record, with no direct legal impact on statutes, agencies, schools, or private parties beyond public recognition of Kenwood High School’s designation and achievements.
Sentiment
The sentiment around the resolution is strongly positive and celebratory. The bill passed the House on consent calendar passage on third consideration by a vote of 94-0, indicating unanimous support and no recorded opposition. The text itself is entirely laudatory, emphasizing pride, admiration, and commendation for the school’s academic accomplishments.
Contention
There is no notable policy contention in the available record because the resolution is honorary rather than regulatory. No committee transcripts are available, and the floor vote shows no dissent. The only substantive focus is recognition of Kenwood High School’s STEM/STEAM designation and the broader value of STEM education, which appears to have been uncontroversial.
