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 elementary and junior high students until 1949. Over the years, the school faced challenges, including significant deterioration in the 1970s, but was revitalized through community efforts and expansions, including a $9.6 million bond project that added new learning space.

The resolution highlights the school's current role under Principal Scott Disch, serving approximately 1,200 students from pre-K to fifth grade, and offering specialized programs for gifted and talented learners as well as support for special education. The upcoming centennial celebrations will include various events such as a parade, a homecoming game at Rice University, a teacher reunion, and a gala, all 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 acknowledges its significant contributions to education in Texas over the past century.
