Jordan Royal Wins Prestigious Teens Serving Texas Award
Jordan Royal, a senior at Bridge City High School, has been selected by the Texas Association of Secondary School Principals (TASSP) for the Teens Serving Texas Award. This prestigious award was designed to recognize Texas high school seniors who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of community service, leadership and personal accomplishments. Applicants were selected based on their overall grade point average, pursuit of advanced diploma, and evidence of exceptional service to their community. Each student nominee completed an application that included reference letters, a personal goals essay and documentation of their contribution to the community. From this state-wide group of outstanding leaders, only five were chosen to receive the Teens Serving Texas award and $1100 scholarship. As a winner of the TASSP Teens Serving Texas Award, Jordan is invited to the TASSP Summer Workshop in Austin on June 16, 2011 to receive her award in front of 2,100 TASSP principals.
