Her academic excellence and positive presence at ACHS are the key reasons she was nominated for this award by multiple teachers.One teacher writes “Kenya is thoughtful, diligent and kind. She works hard on her independent study course, and is utilizing strategies to help her avoid distraction in completing her assignments. Kenya is taking on additional hours at work to help her family and is a good big sister to her siblings. Kenya asks great questions, is a great listener, and is always looking to learn more. She is a pleasure to have in class and brings out the best in her classmates by being a friend and role model.”Another says “She comes to class with a positive attitude and always gives 100%. She wants to learn and always asking questions to better herself. She is a role model and actively encourages everyone to participate.”
