Students, parents, and the school are proud of the mathematics accomplishments recognized by this program. Students have used this recognition on resumes to reach for higher goals. USAA gives students who excel in academics a chance to shine. These students need to know how important their talents are and USAA provides this much needed service. The Achievement Academy awards instill pride in the students who receive them.
Most teachers choose the recipients with integrity.
Not only the GPA but also citizenship weighs heavily in the selection. These awards seem to be a true indication of the student's honor and his intelligence. Living in the true midwest, Stockton, KS, I think our students in smaller school districts where we graduate 33-38 students a year, deserve the recognition. They go on to higher education and do very well. We have a very high percentage of college graduates.
