Washington, Hebert honored
The United States Achievement Academy announced that Cory Washington, from Fort Fairfield, has been named a United States National Collegiate Award winner in mathematics and Meghan Beth Hebert, from Presque Isle, has been recognized for academic achievement as a United States National Honor Student Award Winner.
This award is a prestigious honor very few students can ever hope to attain. In fact, the Academy recognized fewer than 10 percent of all American college students.
The Academy selects winners upon the exclusive recommendation of professors, coaches, counselors and other qualified sponsors and upon the standards of selection set forth by the Academy. The criteria for selection are a student’s academic performance, interest and aptitude, leadership qualities, responsibility, enthusiasm, motivation to learn and improve, citizenship, attitude and cooperative spirit, dependability and recommendation from a professor or college official.
Washington, who attended Indian Wesleyan University, was nominated for this national award by Dr. Melvin Royer, a professor at the college.
Washington will appear in the United States Achievement Academy’s Official Collegiate Yearbook, which is published nationally.
Washington is the son of Nancy Washington and the last Robert Washington, from Fort Fairfield. The grandparents are Marian Langford and the late Donald Langford, of Fairmont, Minn., and Edna Washington and the late Robert Washington, of Ballston Lake, N.Y.
Hebert, who attends Presque Isle Middle School, will appear in the United States Achievement Academy’s Official Yearbook, which is published nationally.
Hebert is the daughter of Monica Hebert of Presque Isle and Tim Hebert of Millinocket. Her grandparents are Rheal and Nancy Tardy of Caribou, and Percy and Linda Thibodeau of Connor Township and the late Roger Hebert.
