Powers student wins national science prize
Thursday, May 31, 2007 | No comments posted.
The United States Achievement Academy recently announced that Kiefer Allen, of Powers, the son of Dean and Juanita Allen, has been named a United States National Award Winner in science. This award is a prestigious honor as the Academy recognizes fewer than 10 percent of all American high school students.
Allen, who attends Powers High School, was nominated for this national award by David Morris, a science teacher at the school. He will appear in the United States Achievement Academy's Official Yearbook which is published nationally.
The criteria for selection by the Academy include a student's academic performance, interest and aptitude, leadership, responsibility, enthusiasm, citizenship, cooperative spirit, dependability and recommendation from a qualified sponsor.
