The United States Achievement Academy announced recently that Steven Anderson of Bullard had been recognized by the United States Achievement Academy as a student of excellence in history. This is a prestigious honor very few students can hope to attain. In fact, the Academy recognizes fewer than 10 percent of all American high school students.

Anderson, who attends The Brook Hill School, was nominated for this honor by Steve Dement, a teacher and founder of the school. Anderson will appear in the United States Achievement Academy's 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 students should be congratulated and appreciated for their dedication to excellence and achievement," said Dr. George Stevens, Founder of the United States Achievement Academy.

The academy recognizes students upon the exclusive recommendation of teachers, coaches, counselors, and other qualified sponsors and upon the Standards for Selection set forth by the Academy. The Standards for Selection include academic performance, interest and aptitude, leadership qualities, responsibility, enthusiasm, motivation

to learn and improve attitude and cooperative spirit, dependability, and recommendation from a qualified sponsor.

Anderson is the son of Mark and Sandy Anderson of Bullard. Grandparents are Joan Anderson of Tyler, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Irish of Joaquin and Mr. and Mrs. Joe Ables of Alvin.
