My goal is to develop as a whole person gaining academic intelligence as well as social, emotional, cultural,spiritual and physical intelligence. I'm a National Honor Society member, National Language Society member and a National Science Society member. I' ve achieved the Principal's Honor Roll each marking period since starting Middle School. My class schedule has been filled with Honors and AP classes and currently I'm enrolled in four AP and two college credit courses. I've maintained a 94% (unweighted) average. I've received the Advanced Math Award and the Business Management Student Award. My class rank is in the top 15% of the class. My standardized test scores are strong!
