On April 5 Devin was one of sixteen students in the Clovis Unified
School District who was honored at the Students of Honor banquet.
This is what the program said about it:
Each spring, the Students of Promise
Program recognizes high school juniors
who are attending school on a regular basis,
showing responsibility, and succeeding in
school in spite of very challenging situations
in their personal lives. On each high
school campus, there are students who face
extreme obstacles that could easily affect
their performance at school, but somehow
they don't let challenges get in their way.
Though they don't expect to be rewarded
for persevering through difficult times,
these students are "heroes in everyday life."
Each student selected for recognition in the
program is eligible to receive a $2000.00
scholarship for use in post-secondary
education. The Foundation of Clovis
Schools wishes to encourage, reward and
honor these Students of Promise.
Devin's high school counselor and the school district hearing specialist who
has worked with him since first grade both nominated him for this award.
Hearing the challenges that all of the sixteen kids
have overcome was quite inspirational.
Congratulations, Devin!
