The United States Achievement Academy announced that Kristian D. Aguilar,

The USAA has established the All-American Scholar Award Program to offer
deserved recognition to superior students who excel in the academic disciplines.
The All-American Scholars must earn a 3.3, or higher, grade point average.
Only scholars selected by a school instructor, counselor, or other qualified
sponsor are accepted. These scholars are also eligible for other awards
given by the USAA.
Aguilar, who attends Pecos High School, was nominated for this national
award by Eva Arriola, a counselor at the school.
She will appear in the All-American Scholar Yearbook, which is published
nationally.
"Recognizing and supporting our youth is more important than ever before
in America's history. Certainly, winners of the All-American Scholar Awards
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 All-American Scholars upon the exclusive recommendation
by teachers, coaches, counselors, and other qualified sponsors. Once awarded,
the students may be recognized by the USAA for other honors.
Aguilar is the daughter of Geno and Anabel Aguilar of Pecos.
Grandparents are Eugene Aguilar Jr. and Janie Martinez and Abel Natividad
Sr. and Corina Natividad.
