East Greenwich High School Announces 2014 U.S. Presidential Scholars’ Semifinalists
On behalf of East Greenwich High School, Principal Michael Podraza has announced that
two of our graduating seniors were named as semifinalists and will advance to the final round of the 2014 U.S. Presidential Scholars competition. Heather Shen and Michelle Xiong were among 565 students to receive this distinction from over 4000 candidates. They were chosen on the basis of superior achievements, leadership qualities, personal character and involvement in community and school activities.
Final selection of the Scholars will be made by the Commission on Presidential Scholars, a group of eminent citizens appointed by the President, and will be announced in May. Scholars will be invited to Washington, D.C. in June to receive the U.S. Presidential Scholars medallion at a recognition ceremony. Semifinalists were chosen by a panel of distinguished educators after a review of students’ essays, self-assessments, descriptions of activities, school recommendations and school transcripts.
The East Greenwich High School community congratulates Heather and Michelle on this outstanding achievement. We wish them both great success in all their future endeavors.
