H.R. No. 55 is a resolution commemorating the 100th anniversary of West University Elementary School in the Houston Independent School District, which will be celebrated in 2025. Founded in 1925 to serve the growing West University Place community, the school was designed by architect Lamar Cato and originally housed both West U Elementary and Pershing Junior High until the latter's relocation in 1949. Over the years, the school has undergone significant revitalization efforts, including a major expansion in the 2000s, and currently serves around 1,200 students from pre-K to fifth grade, offering specialized programs for gifted learners and special education.

The resolution highlights the school's rich history and its contributions to education in Texas, acknowledging the leadership of current principal Scott Disch and the efforts of the community in maintaining the school's legacy. The upcoming centennial celebrations will feature various events, including a parade and a gala, organized by PTO centennial co-chair Lauren Sanders. The Texas House of Representatives expresses its best wishes for the future of West University Elementary School and plans to provide an official copy of the resolution as a token of esteem.
