Pena named award winner
The United States Achievement Academy announced that D'Andra Pena from
Pecos has been named a United States National Award Winner in cheerleading.
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.
Pena, who attends Crockett Middle School, was nominated for this national
award by teacher Kim Calhoun at the school.
Pena 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 sponors 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.
Pena is the daughter of Lydia and Daniel Pena of Barstow. The grandparents
are Emilio and Pauline Pena of Wickett and Jose and Frances Castillo of
Pecos.
