Michaelis named to achievement list
PECOS, April 20, 2001 - The United States Achievement Academy announced
that Michael Michaelis, a junior, at Kermit High School has been named
a United States National Award Winner in Mathematics.

attain. IN fact, the Academy recognizes fewer than 10 percent of all American
high school students. Connie Phillips, a teacher at Kermit High School,
nominated Michaelis for this national award.
Michaelis will appear in the United States Achievement Academy Official
Yearbook, which is published nationally.
"Recognizing and supporting our youth is more important than ever before
in America's history. Certainly, United States Achievement Academy winners
should be congratulated and appreciated for their dedication to excellence
and achievement," said Dr. George Stevens, Executive Director of the United
States Achievement Academy.
The Academy selects USAA winners upon the exclusive recommendation of
teachers, coaches, counselors and other qualified sponsors and upon the
Standards of Selection set forth by the Academy. The criteria for selection
are a student's academic performance, interest and aptitude, leadership
qualities, responsibilities, enthusiasm, motivation to learn and improve,
citizenship, attitude and cooperative spirit, dependability, and recommendation
from a teacher of director.
Michaelis is the son of Leroy and Sylvia Michaelis from Kermit. His
grandparents are Leroy and Marge Michaelis of Sealy, and Enrique and Carmen
Jaso of Pecos.
