Cypress Creek High School student Larissa Stewart and Jersey Village High School student Darwin Cruz have been selected by the Texas Association of Secondary School Principals (TASSP) as members of the All-State Academic Team. Stewart and Cruz are among an elite group of only 20 seniors in the state to be selected for this honor.
This prestigious award was designed to recognize Texas high school seniors for their outstanding academic achievements and focuses attention on the rewards of superior scholarship.
"It’s quite an honor to be selected to the All-State Team and it’s pretty unusual to have two students from the same school district selected," said Alejandro Arguello, director of the TASSP All-State Academic Team program.
Thousands of senior students were nominated by their high school principals based on their scores on the SAT or ACT test, overall academic grade point average, pursuit of advanced diploma, and other evidence of exceptional academic ability. Each student nominated was asked to write a monitored 300-500 word essay to submit with the application.
As members of the TASSP All-State Academic Team, Stewart and Cruz will be invited to the TASSP Summer Workshop on June 13 in Austin to receive their plaques and $500 rewards.
