RHS and RLT Students Receive TASSP All-State Academic Excellence Scholarship

Ted Tak, senior at Ranchview, and Taylor Poydence, Turner senior, have been selected by the Texas Association of Secondary School Principals (TASSP) as a member of the TASSP All-State Academic Excellence Team. This prestigious award was designed to recognize Texas high school seniors for their outstanding academic achievements and the rewards of superior scholarship. Only 20 students in the state receive this honor.

Many outstanding senior students were nominated by their high school principals based on their SAT or ACT scores, academic grade point average, pursuit of advanced diploma, and other evidence of exceptional academic ability. Each student nominated was asked to write a 300-500 word essay to submit with the application. From this group of more than 150 outstanding young scholars, twenty were chosen for the TASSP All State Academic Excellence Team.

As a member of the TASSP All-State Academic Excellence Team, Ted and Taylor will be awarded $500 scholarships and formally recognized at the TASSP Summer Workshop in Austin Texas on Jun. 14.
