FHS STUDENT NAMED PRESIDENTIAL SCHOLAR
|
Franklin High School
Senior Lindsey McCloy |
Franklin High School senior Lindsey McCloy has
joined an elite group. McCloy was recently named a
2008 U.S. Presidential Scholar. She is one of
only three U.S. Presidential Scholars in the entire
state. The national award is given to students
based on their overall academic performance.
Just 139 students nationwide were named presidential
scholars this year.
McCloy has been invited to join the other scholars
in Washington D.C. this summer for a series of
engagements as part of the award program. Each
student may choose an inspiring or challenging
teacher to travel to Washington to receive a Teacher
Recognition Award. |

"The Presidential Scholars Program gives
well-deserved recognition to high-achieving students
and the teachers who inspired them to achieve great
things," stated Assistant Commissioner for Teaching
and Learning Susie Bunch. "Tennessee is
fortunate to have many excellent students and
educators worthy of such praise."
McCloy has plenty to be proud of. The 2008
Presidential Scholars were chosen from among roughly
3,000 candidates who qualified out of more than
three million graduating U.S. seniors. As for
her post-graduation plans, McCloy intends to go to
college and obtain an engineering degree so that she
can single-handedly solve the energy crisis. |
