Congratulating students from Jack Yates High School for advancing to the finals at the 2025 UIL Young Filmmakers Festival.
HR 374 is a non-binding resolution congratulating 70 students from Jack Yates High School's JY Cinema program for advancing two films to the finals of the 2025 University Interscholastic League (UIL) Young Filmmakers Festival. It specifically recognizes their achievement as the first time the school had two films reach the state finals in two categories, earning the school two plaques and each student a UIL state medal. The resolution formally expresses the Texas House of Representatives' recognition of their work on films addressing student voices, including "Switchin' Classes" and "The Circle of the Storm." As a ceremonial resolution, it has no policy impact and does not create new laws or allocate funding.
