 A senior at Midway High School has been selected by the Texas Association of Secondary School Principals as a member of the TASSP All-State Academic Excellence Team.

Christopher Curry received this prestigious award to recognize his academic achievements.

Curry is a National Merit Finalist for his score on the PSAT test, scoring among the top 1 percent of the more than 1.5 million students who took the exam.

Many senior students were nominated by their high school principals based on their SAT or ACT scores, academic grade point average, pursuit of advanced diploma, and other evidence of exceptional academic ability. 

Each student nominated was asked to write a 300-500 word essay to submit with the application.  From this group of young scholars, 20 were chosen for the TASSP All State Academic Excellence Team

As a member of the TASSP All-State Academic Excellence Team, Christopher Curry will be awarded a $500 scholarship and formally recognized at the TASSP Summer Workshop in Austin, Texas on June 16, 2016.
