Prewit named award winner
The United States Achievement Academy announced that Briar Prewit, from
Pecos, has been named a United States National Award Winner.
This award is a prestigious honor very few students can ever hope to
attain. In fact, the Academy recognizes fewer than 10 percent of all American
high school students.
Prewit, who attends Pecos High School, was nominated for this national
award by Pat Cobos, a counselor at the school.
Prewit 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 thier dedication to excellence
and achievement," said Dr. George Stevens, Executive Director of the United
States Achievement Academy.
The Academy selects USSA 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, responsibility, enthusiasm, motivation to learn and improve,
citizenship, attitude and cooperative spirit, dependability and recommendation
from a teacher or director.
Prewit is the daughter of John and Janet Prewit of Pecos.
Grandparents are Mary Prewit of Pecos, and Charles and Norma Sikes
of Odessa.
