Hill receives recognition
Jesse Hill of Wayne has been named a United State National Award Winner in Mathematics.
This award is an honor that very few students can ever hope to attain. In fact, the Academy recognized fewer than 10 percent of all American high school students.
Jesse, who attends Wayne Middle School, was nominated for the national award by Joyce Hoskins, a teacher at the school. His name will appear in the United States Achievement
Academy Official Yearbook, which is published nationally.
The Academy selects USAA winners upon the recommendation of teachers, coaches, counselors and other qualified sponsors and upon the Standards of Selection set forth by the Academy. The criteria for selection are student's academic performance, interest, aptitude, leadership qualities, responsibility, enthusiasm, motivation to learn and improve, citizenship, attitude and cooperative spirit, dependability and recommendation from a teacher to director.
Jesse is the son of Kevin and Melody Hill of Wayne.
